If you are looking for the perfect combination of salty and sweet, look no further! This 4 ingredient dessert will be a crowd favorite instantly. This is a family recipe from my mother and is always my favorite holiday dessert. My family knows this dessert as “toffee bars” but I’ve heard other Midwest families refer to it as “poor man’s toffee” or “christmas crack”, but these names seem a bit derogatory in my opinion. Alas, it is sure to become your new favorite, despite the name you give it. :)
