These are very good! I did add 1 egg to get a more chewy bar. Sweet and tasty. I will make again.

Thumbs down. Bad texture. No flavor.

Tasted good but I thought the dough was hard to spread- it was very sticky. I think these are more suited for the candy category, mine turned out very crispy almost like brittle. Taste good but I was hoping for more of a cookie bar consistancy.

These were pretty good, but they they needed a lot longer than 20 minutes to bake.

Very similar to bars my mom used to make. I halved the recipe and put in an 8x8" with the chips spread on top as others mentioned. Very easy with ingredients that are always around.

Tasted like a poorly made chocolate chip cookie. Grainy and bland. Could not get the center to cook right with the baking time. Will not be making again.

Fast, easy, good. I also spread the chocolate over the top, because that's the way I remember the recipe.

This is the same recipe my mother used and it's delicious. However, instead of mixing the chocolate chips into the bar, she would melt the chocolate chips on top after she removed the bars from the oven. Either way, these bars are scrumptious.

I love these bars! I had made them for several years and then lost the recipe. This one seems to be just like the recipe I had but mine had the addition of an egg yolk and cooked for less time, 15 - 18 mins I believe. I also always sprinkle the choc. chips on top as soon as I take it out of the oven. Wait about 3 mins or so and then spread them and add chopped almonds to the top. Be sure and cut while still warm. Thanks Mary Ellen!

This is a really good recipe. My mom always made these when we were kids too, and it's always been one of my favorites. Another way to make these is to not put the chocolate chips in the dough, but rather spread them on top of the bars when they come out of the oven. If I do it this way, I usually use a whole bag of chocolate chips. Either way, these are awesome!

I found this recipe as a teenager in one of my mom's old cookbooks and it has been a favorite ever since. Super easy and they keep just about forever as long as you don't eat them all! They freeze well and are good as a filler in a box of Christmas goodies.

I recognized these cookies as one of my Christmas favorites from childhood. Only thing is, they are missing the chopped pecans that make them taste like "toffee" bars. For all those who thought they lacked taste or taste of toffee, add 1/2cup pecans and give it another whirl.

Excellent cookie bars! They were really easy to make and taste great, but I don't see why they are called "toffee" bars. They are more like a brown sugar shortbread to me.
