Old-fashioned Toffee Bars, aka Toffee Cookies from a 1979 cookbook, made with a buttery brown sugar shortbread base, melted milk chocolate, and chopped walnuts. There's no toffee candy in them and no candy thermometer needed, and they crunch like toffee without sticking to your teeth. One sheet pan makes 24 bars in 40 minutes, which is why they're a cookie tray and potluck favorite.
