Dear Nancy & Friends,

An ex co-worker of mine made these for the open house of our public library's centennial (June 4, 1989). Very Good!

Toffee Squares

1 cup butter (do NOT substitute oleo or Crisco!)
2 cups flour
1 tsp. vanilla
1-8oz. Hershey bar
1 cup ground nuts (whatever you have)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk

Cream butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Add egg yolk & flour. Add vanilla last. Spread very thinly on a 10x15" baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes, but don't overbake. Put Hershey bar on top of cookie surface after they are done baking. Allow chocolate to soften & spread on the surface as frosting. Sprinkle with the nuts while chocolate is still soft. Cut bars while warm.
