CHOCOLATE CHIP & ENGLISH TOFFEE COOKIE BARS

I tried to warm them up with a huge pot of chili for lunch and these yummy Chocolate Chip & English Toffee Cookie Bars for dessert.  These bars were still warm when I served them and were full of that melted toffee, chocolate goodness.  They are perfect on a cold day with a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate!   These treats are slightly crisp on the top and bottom with a delicious, gooey inside.  If you are feeling a little naughty, you could even top these warm cookie bars with vanilla ice cream! 

 Cookie Bars are my go to dessert when I am pressed for time.  They are so simple to make, and they take only minutes to prepare.  If you are in the mood for something warm and sweet to share with your family on a chilly fall evening, give these Cookie Bars a try!  If you aren’t feeding a crowd, the extra bars can be stored in the freezer or even packed as a surprise in a school lunch:)  Enjoy!
