rich chocolate toffee bars

When we had our family reunion this summer we had a fantastic turnout of great food. I was not able to sample everything but I did have a bar that my aunt, Geri, had brought (one of many she baked). So I wrote her a note thanking her for all the food she brought & described the bar to her that I had tried. She knew which one it was & sent me the recipe! I wasn't expecting that but was delighted to have it. I've made this a couple of times already. It goes together quickly. They are rich like its name says, so cutting the pieces small is a good place to start. This isn't the first recipe Geri has sent me & I always love how at the end she writes "good luck"!
