Toffee Bars

from JoAnn T.

1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups flour
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all together thoroughly. Pres into a large cookie sheet thinly, with the heel of the hand to press down hard. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Sprinkle 1 package of chocolate chips over the top as soon as the bars come from the oven. The chips will melt, then spread evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Cut into bars immediately.
