I know, I know, it's not really "tomorrow" but I am still up even though it is 1am, it's still yesterday's tomorrow to me and so I am delivering what I promised last night which was really this morning.... or is it yesterday morning? anyway, 
...here is Cindy's YUMMY Toffee Bars Recipe that I promised! She gave me a packet of recipes that she had hand written from her mother's cupboard for one of my wedding showers {which she threw for me} before Layton and I said, "I DO". Geez, that was in 1980. Man! Groovy!

She gave me a packet of recipes that she had hand written from her mother's cupboard for one of my wedding showers {which she threw for me} before Layton and I said, "I DO". Geez, that was in 1980. Man! Groovy!It was a great day and I still love using the fun, scrumpcious recipes.
It was such a personal, thoughtful thing to do. You should do it for your friends next shower!
(I hope it's ok with Cynthia that I post this on my blog! Oh well, too late, she will just have to be famous now...)

Don't ask me why they are called Toffee Bars. There is no toffee to be found in these. I never did get that part about the title but I LOVE THEM! I have baked and eaten them for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner (but then I do have an unconventional habit for meals) for about the last , oh 29 years !
Actually, they are a cookie bar but the brown sugar must make them a softer bar than a cookie type recipe. I don't really know but who cares, it's true! Maybe they are one of Cindy's grandpa's, that is, Evie's father's Swedish Bakery Secret Recipe's from the motherland? Are they, Cindy? They are so good and fast and easy to make that they very well could be!
Thanks for sharing this sweet treat with me so many moons ago! You are famous at my house (and now, at everyone else's too)!

1- Cream
1 cup Shortening
(yes, girls, butter flavor works, ha!)
1 cup Brown Sugar
2-Add and Mix
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3-Add and Mix
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Spread "dough" on a large cookie sheet (I spray mine first)
and Bake 350 until golden brown-
14-16 min.
5- Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips over top!
(I use a whole bag! It's a chocolate thing...)
*Put your pan back in the warm oven
for about 1-2 min.
until melted and
spread as a frosting.
*I like to cut into squares while the chocolate
is still soft and then put in the fridge to harden.
Also, I have doubled this recipe and made them on the cookie sheet for a thicker bar or even in a 9x13 pan. It is a great recipe and very hard to mess up!
Cindy wrote on my recipe card
"Serve with a Smile!"
I DO!
ENJOY!
