Heath Brunch Coffee Cake

Recipe from Grandma

Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/4 lb) butter
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Topping

  • 6 Heath Bars finely chopped
  • ¼ cup pecans or almonds

Directions

Blend the flour, butter and the sugars. Take out ½ cup of the mixture and set aside. To the rest, add the buttermilk, baking soda, egg and vanilla. Blend well. Pour into a greased and floured 10 x 14 x 2 in. pan.

Topping:

Crush finely, 6 Heath Bars with ¼ cup pecans or almonds and add to the ½ cup mixture. Sprinkle over the top of the batter and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Notes

Heath Bars can be chopped using a few pulses in a food processor. Make sure not to turn them into powder. They should still have some chunks.

I know that I had seen Heath Topping in the baking aisle (I finally made it to the store and had the time to look) and there are 2 different packages. Do not use Heath English Toffee bits as they only have toffee. Use the other which should have chocolate in it.

You can also use a 13 x 9 pan
