Makes about 16 2" squares (not nearly enough!)

First made for the Hughson High School Husky Soccer Team, 1995 - 1996.
SKOR Toffee Bits can be bought on Amazon in 3lb bags, good for about 9 recipes. About $28 as of 2021. I haven't seen them in stores in years. You can use other toffee bits instead of the SKOR, but they are not nearly as good.
In order to maintain consistency, I use a food scale to weigh the ingredients, except for the butter where I go by the markings on the paper.
Store toffee bits at 65°F or below (but not frozen) in an airtight container.


Ingredients
3.5-oz. Rice Krispies (about 4 cups)
5-oz. Cocoa Pebbles (about 3 3/4 cups)
5-oz. SKOR Toffee Bits
5-oz. Reese's Peanut Butter Chips
18 oz. of FRESH Jet-Puffed Marshmallows (1 lb. bag plus 8 or 9 marshmallows)
3-oz. butter (6 tablespoons) (NOT MARGARINE!)

Directions

In a bag or other container, mix together everything but the marshmallows and the butter.
Set aside.
In a large, microwave dish, melt the butter, about 1 minute.
Add marshmallows, tossing generously so that they are well coated with the melted butter.
Microwave for about 3 minutes or until marshmallows have doubled in volume.
Don't overdo it or your treats will be in the break-your-teeth stage!
Stir dry ingredients into marshmallows, mixing thoroughly.
Spread evenly into a baking dish or onto a cookie sheet, which should be well coated with butter.
Coat your hands with butter and smooth out the top of the Husky Treats.
I also use a buttered rolling pin.
Allow to cool and then cut them up and serve.

Makes about 6 4-oz portions

Comments
Adapted from the recipe of Mary Monroe. If anyone can give me an idea for how to break up the toffee into 1/8 inch bits without having a lot of toffee dust, let me know.

Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups butter
1 or 2 cups almonds chopped very finely (optional*)
1/2 cup almonds chopped coarsely for topping (optional)**
8 milk chocolate bars (optional)**

Directions
Over medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add sugar and chopped almonds*.
Use a candy thermometer to heat to 300° (hard crack).
Quickly spread as thinly as possible on a pre-greased baking sheet.
The thinner, the better.
Allow to cool, then smash it up into 1/8" bits or at least as small as you can without turning it into toffee dust.
Store in 5 oz. portions in a cool, dry place.
DO NOT FREEZE!!!

*1 cup of nuts for using with Husky Treats; 2 cups to make "real" toffee.
**If you are making "real" toffee: after the toffee has cooled, melt chocolate bars on the top and sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped nuts over the melted chocolate before it cools.
