Fudge Filled Toffee Cookies

I have not given up on these cookies. One thing I can not stand is an unsuccessful recipe. While this recipe was loved by my family, they didn't do anything for me. They had this marvelous name and they just didn't live up to it! The base was not sandy but not chewy. It really lacked in flavour. However, this name deserves a better recipe so never fear, I will come back with a better one. I'm going to try and redo these on the weekend and hopefully I succeed!
