Toffee Sticks

Toffee Sticks

I don't know where this recipe comes from but I remember mom making them for special occasions. They are look like they are so much more complicated than they really are. 

Ingredients:

3/4 c butter                                      2 T shortening

1.2 c brown sugar                            1 6 oz bag butterscotch morsels

1 egg yolk                                        1/4 c light corn syrup

1 t vanilla                                          1 T butter

1/4 t salt                                           1/4 t salt

1 1/2 c flour                                      sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend together the butter and brown sugar until creamy. Then add in the egg yolk and the vanilla and mix in. Add in the salt and flour and mix well. Then press it into a 9X13 baking pan.  Bake for twenty minutes.

Take out and let cool. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the second column list except for the almonds and heat and stir over medium heat  until sauce is smooth. Spread over the baked cookie crust.

Sprinkle with almonds and allow it to cool and set before cutting into 2X2 square
