Koozer's Kitchen: Chocolate Toffee Bars

To make this dessert you will need a lot of time on your hands and resistance toward diabetic shock. These bars are so sweet, they were once a diner waitress in Missoula with a sharp tongue but a heart of gold.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BARS O' DEATH

Okay, lots of steps here, so keep up.

1. Preheat oven to 350. I couldn't tell you which oven pan to use. Most people use shallow pans for bars, but I used something closer to a casserole dish. Use your best judgment. I can't do everything for you, you know. God, you're so needy.

2. In a bowl, cream together a stick and a half of butter, 3/4 cup of light brown sugar, packed, and 1 and a half cups of flour. Press down into the greased pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until it looks tan. Take out and let cool.

3. In a saucepan, melt together a can of sweetened condensed milk (take it out of the can first) and 2 tablespoons of butter. Heat for 5 minutes but don't boil, and keep stirring the whole time.

4. Pour and spread evenly over crush. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden. Take out and sprinkle a bag of milk chocolate chips over it. Put back in oven for 2-3 minutes, until chips are melty. Using a rubber spatula, spread around melted chocolate chips evenly.

5. Smash up some Skor bars or toffee pieces. Sprinkle evenly over chocolate and push down into chocolate using the spatula. Let cool. Put in fridge for an hour or so. Cut into bars and then put back in fridge for another hour.

6. Eat one and have the sugar rush equivalent to a Red Bull mixed with espresso mixed with the first time you ever listened to Motorhead.
