Andes Toffee Bars

One of my favorite candies this time of year is the Andes mint chocolate. The rich taste with a hint of mint hits the spot. Now add the Andes mint chocolates into a toffee bar with some peppermint and you got Andes Toffee Bars. If you thought Andes mint chocolates were addictive, I’m giving you fair warning that these are as well.

If you like more of a chocolate taste rather than the traditional sweet and salty toffee bars made with nuts than this recipe is a great one to make. I like to bring some to the holiday party and making extra to give to friends and families during the holiday season.
