Toffee Brown Sugar Bars
Our kitchen remodel is nearly complete and my husband and I are still married, which is sort of a miracle.
I have told him 40 hundred times that he’s doing things incorrectly…and he has told me 40 hundred and ONE times that I have no experience in hanging cabinets so my pie-hole should stay shutty.
I have repeated the phrase, “I cannot wait until the crown molding is up” at least 7 times a day since the project has started, just so he doesn’t forget to put the crown molding up…
And he has repeated the phrase, “pie-hole shutty” every. single. time.
Ok, he has never said pie-hole shutty…but that’s basically what I can hear his eyes saying when he looks at me.
Also, my husband would never say shutty. Or pie-hole.
Anyway…I am starting to learn that when I repeat things over and over and over, for example, “can’t wait until the crown molding is up”, that is called “nagging”.
Which I like to refer to as “helpful reminders”.
We will never see eye to eye on that one.
And APPARENTLY husbands don’t like, “helpful reminders” when it comes to home improvement projects. Or ever, really.
So yeah, we’re still married.
But the crown molding isn’t up yet.
I’ll let you know.
In the meantime let’s do something major with brown sugar and toffee.
These bars are totally simple, but they have flavors that are in-your-face delicious.
Chewy, rich and buttery. They are perfect and cozy.
I love dark brown sugar, and that’s what I used. If you don’t love it, you can certainly sub in light brown sugar.
How to Make The Best Toffee Bars
Besides all the other usual suspects (eggs, butter, vanilla etc) you will need Toffee Bits. I used the kind that are covered in milk chocolate, but you don’t have to. Totally up to you!
Just mix up a quick batter and add your toffee…
See me there in the mixer bowl?
Yeah, I still wear black capri yoga pants. I can’t quit them.
Here’s what your bars will look like…
Can you even…? I mean…

My life was so happy the day I discovered dark brown sugar. This, with toffee chips is basically irresistible!!
Funny, my husband has the same reaction to my “helpful reminders” 😉 Those bars look so gooey and delicious!
I love toffeeeee! These look amazing.
And about the kitchen remodel…hope it’s done soon!! I’m the same with the hubby…oops!
I am gonna make those brownies this coming weekend. They look yum!!
Mmmm, love everything about these bars ~ especially that toffee!
I am all too familiar with commands disguised as thinking out loud. It’s basically how I get everything done around here.
Love cozy bars!!
I’ve been thinking about these babies since I first saw them last night. YUM! And yes, I totally get the whole remodel situation. We remodeled when we were first married and then built three houses since then together. It makes you closer, let’s just say.
I was jsut sure all husbands loved “helpful reminder.” Thanks for setting me straight! 😉 Can’t WAIT to see that beautiful kitchen.
I just made your AppleToffee Blondies wih the Brown Sugar Frosting and they were to die for! We nicknamed them Autumn in a Pan!! Can’t wait to try these ones. Love your blog!
I love baking with those toffee bits!
