Day One Hundred Sixty Nine: How to Marry a Toffee Millionaires

Ever since I made those toffee cookies and toffee butterscotch blondies, I've been having toffee-flavored dreams.  So Wednesday I made Martha's Toffee Millionaires.  The recipe is pretty simple and after I tell you what's in them, you'll be having toffee-flavored dreams too.

The base of these bars is a tasty shortbread.  I'm usually not a fan of shortbread because it's normally dry and tastes like sand.  This shortbread is made with brown sugar and butter.  It's so rich and moist you have to mold it like play-doh into the pan.

The topping is simply melted toffee mixed with cream.  Pour it on the baked crust and find something to do while you wait for the pan to cool.

No seriously.  Leave the kitchen.  You'll be tempted to cut into these puppies immediately.

When you taste these bars, you'll realize why they are named "millionaires".  Like a millionaire, these bars are just rich enough, but not too rich.  You may feel like you've won the lottery, but not like you married Bill Gates.
