Toffee Glazed {Cake Mix} Blondies

Easy, Easy, Easy. 

I'm not talking about myself here....I mean the brownies.

 I've been called a lot of things in my life - Easy isn't one of them.  I'm often reminded by my family members about how stubborn I can be....

 My mom used to call me "Bull-Headed" when I was a kid.   Did anyone else ever get called that?

 I'm seeing some of that now in my 12 year old daughter ....Yikes!

Any who....

There's a bulk food store in my area that I just love to shop at.  There's always so many tempting baking ingredients to look over.  My last shopping trip produced a mega sized bag of toffee bits     {literally, the size of my head}. 

I had not one single clue what I was going to do with them. 

 They just looked good. 

That bag of buttery toffee-ness stared at me from the pantry for about a week.  I had to start thinking of ways to use them up before that "impulse purchase" guilt started setting in....... 

The first toffee recipe I came up with was my dangerous   Badonkadonk Fudge

  

And now, these awesome toffee glazed cake mix blondies are my latest creation......

Needless to say, it has made a very small dent in my bulbous bag of toffee.
