This is the quickest, simplest recipe for a gourmet tasting and funky candy I like to think of as toffee bars. I got this from the Jan, 2003 issue of Gourmet Magazine and I love to have a batch of these on hand in the freezer for family snacking or to serve to guests I want to impress. It also makes a great hostess or kiddush gift.
