ENGLISH TOFFEE BALLS



English Toffee Balls image

I found this recipe in THe Pilsbury Family Christmas Cookbook. This has quickly become a family favorite. It doesn't have eggs in the dough like most cookie recipes, so if you or a loved one likes to eat the dough, it's safe. We always put these on our Christmas cookie baking list. They're easy to make and sinfully delicious.

1 teaspoon vanilla
3 (3/4 ounce) chocolate coated english chocolate-covered english toffee bars, crushed (I use about 1/3 of a package of the skor bar pieces, found by the chocolate chips in the grocery sto)
powdered sugar (for coating the cookies after baking)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your toffee balls.
