TOFFEE TREATS
from Southern living Annual 1989

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 (1.65-ounce) milk chocolate bars, broken
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Cream butter; gradually add brown sugar, and beat well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add egg yolk and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing well.

Spread batter in a lightly greased 13- x 9- x 2-inch pan. Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes (crust will be soft). Remove pan from oven, and immediately arrange pieces of chocolate on hot crust. Let stand until chocolate softens; then spread evenly over crust with a spatula. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top; let cool slightly. Cut into squares while warm. Let squares cool completely in pan.
