Almond Skor Cookie Bars

These cookie bars are crunchy, soft, and chewy all at the same time.  I found this recipe while helping clean out a house in a book labelled Family Recipes for Jimmy. I'm not sure who Jimmy is but thanks for this delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

(Yields ~ 16 bars)

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

Pinch salt

4 Skor bars (coarsely chopped)

3/4 cup blanched almonds (coarsely chopped

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Coarsely chop the skor bars and almonds. An easy way to do this is by placing the skor bars and almonds in ziplock bags and break them up using a rolling pin. 

2. Melt butter over medium heat in a saucepan and cool slightly.  Whisk in sugars, egg, and vanilla.

3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.  Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients and then add candy bars, almonds, and chocolate chips.

4. Scrape batter into a lightly greased 9-inch square baking pan.  Bake for 30 minutes at 350 F. Let cool for 30 minutes.
