I believe I owe some of you a gift package of these cookies.
The girl scouts ate these across 4 states before they reached us for their trip.
Fun quick and easy. We love this one.
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cubes BUTTER
- 3 tsp water
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped nuts
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate Chips
THE Toffee Recipe: I made this for everyone about a year ago on the Grand Canyon Trip
In a greased square pan spread the nuts and chips. In a heavy an cook sugar, butter, water and salt on high heat-stirring constantly until mixture starts to turn tan and pulls from the sides and starts to smoke. Pour mixture immediately into the greased pan. This can be doubled and should only take 10 minutes start to finish. Enjoy and call it Confluence Toffee
