Caramel Toffee Squares



Ok, before I start the recipe let me first address something. I have had a few people tell me that they can't comment on my blog. I can't figure out why. I have checked all my settings (to the best of my knowledge), but everything seems like it is correct. So I can't figure it out. Does anyone have an idea?? But I apologize to you guys that it doesn't work. But I do love hearing from you and I wish that I could figure the comment thing out so that you guys could tell me what you have tried and what you think or any questions.

I have a deep love for squares. I mean really, how can you go wrong with a square. They are good for every occasion or no occasion at all (for example the 2 pan of nanaimo bars I made this weekend and then spent the weekend eating them- no occasion, but perfect).

And these squares are to die for. The shortbread layer is just the right consistency and the carmel layer is so chewy.



Crumble press together:

Flour
Sugar
Butter




Press into a 9X9 pan


Bake at 335 degrees for 15 minutes


In a sauce pan combine;


Butter

Brown sugar

corn syrup

can of sweetened condensed milk


Boil for 5 min.
Remove pot from heat and stir caramel until it thickens.




Pour over crust and sprinkle with chocolate chips


Let cool.





For some reason as with everything I make, I put it in the fridge. If you want them a little more 'melty' leave them on the counter. But for a firmer square, store them in the fridge.
