Good Morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! The weather here wasn’t very nice and it was pretty chilly. We had heavy rain, thunderstorms and even some hail! We are building an addition onto our house and before the rain came on Saturday, my husband along with helpful family members and friends were busy trying to get most of the framing done. 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!

These sound so good! I bet these were a great treat on a cold rainy day. I’ve never added toffee to a baked treat, but I’ll have to try now.

Thanks Megan! It was my first time using these toffee bits. They melt completely, but it makes a delicious chewy, gooey texture that’s amazing with the chocolate:)
