Chocolate Frosted Toffees

"This is from an old Pillsbury Bake Off cookbook from way back. My mom used to make them and they remind me a lot of those Girl Scout cookies- Samoas. If you like coconut and chocolate these are for you!"

  1. This tops the goo factor scale! If you like ooey gooey treat, this is for you! Yep, reminds me of Samoas! I think next time, I'll leave the confectioners sugar out & just use the ganache instead of frosting. i think I'll also use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. Just a personal preference. Thanks, Nadia!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the Pittsburgh area but am originally from Montreal and have lived in several states over the years. I am mom to a daughter 15 and a son 11. I have a degree in foods and nutrition and am currently working at a local kitchen store. I am a passionate baker and collector of cookbooks- especially baking and dessert books and community cookbooks but I have thousands of various types. My family are my biggest fans but I love to bake for friends and my kids school events as well. I enjoy traveling, eating out, reading and spending time at home . My pet peeve is people who won't share recipes- I mean, come on... which is why I love recipezaar- it's a giant recipe swap!
