Almond Toffee Bars– Buttery shortbread crust with an ooey gooey toffee center, topped with crunchy almonds. Seriously addicting!
I absolutely love toffee. To bad it is chock full of butter, because it is one of my very favorite things.
I love finding new ways to use the Heath baking bits. Although, truth be told, I also enjoy them straight out of the bag. 😉
When I found this recipe with toffee bits and sweetened condensed milk, I knew it would be a winner. I used the bits without the chocolate, but I bet the chocolate coated ones would work too.
These almond toffee bars have a yummy buttery shortbread crust and are nice and chewy on top. I thought the sliced almonds were perfect, but you could substitute another type of nuts if you prefer.

Any tips for slicing so it makes nice cuts?
Let the bars cool completely and use a really sharp knife. To keep the slices clean, you can rinse and wipe off the knife between cuts. If I’m really worried about how my bars or brownies will slice, I line the pan with foil first and then lift the entire thing out onto a cutting board. Hope that helps!
These look tasty. I should make these ahead for camping.
Made these bars today and they were delicious. The only change I made was substituted almond extract for vanilla extract. This is a keeper !!
I love almond extract, so I’ll have to give that a try next time I make them! So happy you tried and loved them!
I added white and semi-sweet chocolate chips to the topping. I was worried they might be overly sweet; but, they are bland and rather tasteless. I can’t figure out if it was an error I made, an error in the recipe or a difference in our taste buds. I’m disappointed and probably won’t make them again.
I noticed there was no salt listed in the ingredients. She may have used salted butter. If you used unsalted butter that could have made them bland. I made these today and used unsalted butter but added 1 tsp of kosher salt to the base and they were pretty tasty.
Theses were very good but think overbaked a bit.
Sorry you over baked them, but glad that they still turned out!
