Peanut Butter Toffee Bars

I am having a week where my little blog here is cursed. I have the sidebar issue that I am working on and now I seem to have deleted a whole bunch of pictures I wanted to blog. Dang it!! Both of these problems are due to my computer retardedness. Oh well! In the grand scheme of things...little problems in life. So, I will share with you these scrum-diddly-umptious bars I made for a Christmas party. They were different than any other bar cookie I have ever made. Next time I would up the toffee quantity...but that is just me...Peanut Butter Toffee Bars
