#2507 - Peanut Butter Toffee Bars

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups softened butter
2 cups Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups chopped pecans
2 1/2 cups Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits
1/2 cup Nestle's peanut butter chips
1 tsp. Crisco shortening

In a mixer add butter and brown sugar--beat. Add egg, vanilla and salt--beat. Add flour slowly--beat. Remove bowl from mixer and add chopped pecans--stir to mix. Spread the batter on a greased 15" jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove from oven--sprinkle chocolate bits over the top. Wait a few minutes until the chips melt, then use a greased spoon to gently smooth out the chocolate bits over the top. In a microwave safe bowl add peanut butter chips and Crisco--microwave on high in 10 second increments until melted, then stir until smooth. Drizzle the melted peanut butter mixture all over the top. Cool completely. Cut into bars or squares,
