REVIEWS:

These were incredibly easy to make, and extremely pantry-friendly. I came home from work, and had a craving for something salty & [mostly] chocolatey sweet! So what next? I turned to my handy-dandy BHG, and was not disappointed. These were perfect, quick and definitely hit the spot. I WILL be adding this to my recipe book! Oh, and one more thing - I used sliced almonds instead of walnuts/pecans. It's what I had handy, and was delish!

This recipe is soooo yummy. I added coconut flakes after spreading the chocolate and replaced pecans w/ macadamia nut. Delicious!

I love toffee anything and this recipe is great for one who has to watch carbs. Thanks for the recipe, love it!!

I am so glad I found this recipe. My mother-in-law always made this and now that she is no longer with us no one can seem to find her recipe. When I printed it out and gave it to may sisters-in-law they were thrilled. They said it is exactly their mothers recipe. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
