PEANUT BUTTER TOPPED TOFFEE BARS

Category: Bars

2 cups butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
1 tsp shortening

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Blend in vanilla. Whisk flour with salt and gradually stir into batter. Fold in pecans and spread mixture in a lightly greased jelly-roll pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly golden on the edges.

Remove from oven and immediately top with chocolate chips. Allow chips to stand 2-3 minutes to soften, then spread and swirl evenly over top of crust. Set aside.

Melt peanut butter chips with shortening and stir to blend smoothly. Drizzle randomly over the top of the chocolate. Cool thoroughly, and then cut into squares.
