Well, today is my last day at my job. It was a good job, but just not anything I am passionate about. I felt God leading me to leave and pursue some of my passions. I am nervous, scared, anxious and excited to see what the future holds. Not sure what I will be moving on to next, but I knew that it was time to do just that, move on to something new. I know God will direct me and show me what He has in store for me!:)
On that note, I wanted to make something special for my coworkers, for being so wonderful during my time here. When I saw these pop up in my google reader from My Baking Addiction, I knew I had to make these. Adam said these tasted just like pecan pie. I just love the combination of chocolate and toffee. These would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving table, or packaged up as treats to hand out to family & friends during the holidays. These called for milk chocolate chips, but next time I think I’ll try them with semi-sweet, since that is my chocolate chip of choice. Enjoy!

Those sound great, i make something similar called the "Ultimum Bar Cookie" that uses white chocolate, chocolate chips and nuts. SO good! Love the pics.
I found your site while looking for unleavened recipes for passover. This one will be a big hit, I am sure.I was moved by your comments and hope that the new opportunities unfolding in your life will be a greater blessing. God has a way steering the course of our life by circumstances we do not always understand. Nevertheless, you can not steer a parked car. Keep on moving down the path that he illuminates with his word(Psalm 119:105)Also, thanks for some of the great ideas. we will be trying them this week.
