I like to think I’m somewhat up on trends. I love riding boots, long sweaters, and scarves. I get that. But sometimes I think I missed the boat on certain trends. Like furry vests (really?), platform heels (ouch!), or hipster anything (uhh, no thanks.). But, a trend I do get is browned butter. Oh man, do I get browned butter.
Yes, there are food trends too. Think fad diets, the cupcake craze, and new-fangled kitchen gadgets. All trends. And so is sweet, nutty, and oh-so-addicting browned butter. I have seen it all over food blogs and Pinterest, from cookies to pasta.
Somewhere I didn’t expect to see it was my great grandma’s recipe notebook, but there it was! Some 70 plus years ahead of the times, my great grandma was putting browned butter in her desserts. So, it’s not surprising why I’m so drawn to browned butter. It’s in my blood!

Oh my goodness…. I think my heart stopped when I saw the title of these bars 🙂 Browned butter is my new favorite thing EVER. I am definitely going to try these as soon as I can get to a stove! Thank you so much for sharing it. I have a similar recipe at our blog for the icing but this just sounds so much yummier.

Wow! Those cakes look delish! Those are going into my rotation this fall! I hope you enjoy the toffee bars as much as I do…if for nothing else than a heaping helping of the frosting 😉
