Chocolate Toffee Candy

Hello blog readers!  I hope you are all doing well.  Today I present you with one of the easiest and most delicious recipes ever!  Have you ever had a Skor candy bar?  Well, if you haven’t, I highly encourage you to go to the store and buy one right now because they are delicious.  According to the Hershey website, “with buttery toffee enrobed in milk chocolate, this bar is a distinctively rich treat.”  Mmmmm, toffee and chocolate.

I came across this recipe on Recipezaar.com and of course, it’s fabulous!  There are 4 ingredients total and it takes about 15 minutes of cook/put together time and that’s it!  I’ve made this twice now.  The first time I cut the recipe in half, which works nicely, and used semi-sweet chocolate chips.  It was good…but it didn’t quite taste like a Skor bar, so when I made it again, I used milk chocolate chips and it was AMAZING!  I took it into work and got nothing but raves about it.  If you’re looking for a quick treat or dessert, I really recommend this recipe.

Enjoy!

  13. Just made these this am, and maybe I did something wrong, but there was too much butter (the sugar never got "smooth") - so I added another 1/2c and whisked it. Next time, I'll add 1/2 the butter.

    I probably cooked it too long, but some of the sugar mix dripped off the whisk and onto the plate. It tasted good, so maybe the 1/2c extra I added made a difference? Either way, this looks EXTREMELY yum-o and I can't wait for them to cool so I can break off a piece and chow down. Thanks for sharing the recipe!!!
