How to Make Toffee Bars With Peppermint

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch pan.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  9. Meanwhile, melt 12 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips according to package directions.
  10. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled toffee bars.
  11. Crush 8-10 candy canes into small pieces.
  12. Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the melted chocolate.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  14. Cut into bars and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
