Summer is coming to an end, and I am so VERY ok with that! Its been a hot summer and though I have enjoyed my beach time,gardening and farmers market outings..its time for cooler weather! When I think of fall, I think pumpkin everything ( of course), caramel/toffee, chai tea, and cinnamon!
I am always in need of a quick sweet to make for group gatherings.Toffee gives me that fall feeling, this is similar to the candy toffee, but has a shortbread crust. These are great to make ahead of time and they freeze wonderful! I like to make them also at Christmas time for cookie swaps. You can make this recipe as big as you’d like. Package them in cookie bags with ribbon and they make a great sweet gift!
