Christmas Treat | Chocolate Toffee Bark

 

Christmas week is upon us and I'm hoping to take time this week to relax and enjoy time with my family, indulge in delicious food and celebrate the birth of Christ.  My shopping is done, my presents are wrapped and my house is decorated.  They only thing I still hadn't done was to decide on what I would bring to our Christmas gathering, so I gave this recipe a try.  Really an easy one and so, so good!
