Toffee Crunch Cookie Brittle
Yield: 1.5 lbs
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate-covered toffee
1 cup walnuts, chopped

1. Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
