Just a little tidbit of info about me- I look for recipes everywhere. Yep. Newspapers, fiction novels, and in this case, I tore this recipe off the back of a butter package! I’ll be honest, I make a lot of duds. But every once in a while I come across a gem of a recipe that just makes me absolutely giddy. This is one of those times. 4 ingredients, people. F-O-U-R. And you probably already have everything in your pantry. The crust ends up tasting like it has toffee in it and the chocolate caramel layer is just perfect. Scroll down to watch a video I created that shows just how simple these tasty little bars come together.
