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 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.

Looking for a quick dessert that’s a little out of the ordinary? Take these toffee almond bars to any party or potluck and watch them disappear!
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!
