Quick and Easy Toffee Bars Recipe

Quick and Easy Toffee Bars . . . you can whip up a batch of these chewy chocolate-topped bars in just minutes!

Quick and easy toffee bars. Chewy and buttery. A perfect bar for beginning chefs.

I love toffee! Anytime I see a recipe with toffee in the title, it goes right into my to-try pile. Symphony bars were on sale a few weeks ago, so I stocked up on them.

When I came across this recipe for easy toffee bars, I knew I had to try it.

The original recipe called for melting Hershey bars on top and adding pecans. I thought Symphony bars would just kick it up a notch. I used the ones with the toffee chips in them, and I thought they were fabulous.

They have a nice rich flavor from the brown sugar, and the chocolate with toffee on top is just perfect.

Quick and Easy Toffee Bars - only seven ingredients, and so tasty. Melted candy bars make these toffee bars extra yummy!

I like to add sliced almonds to the top, but they are also fantastic with just the chocolate. Who knew that 7 ingredients could taste so good?

Adore toffee? Here are a few more amazing recipes to try:

  • Toffee Chocolate Chip Scones
  • Toffee Brownie Trifle
  • Oatmeal Toffee Cookies
  • Toffee Chocolate Chip Bars
  • Almond Toffee Bars

Equipment

  • Norpro Stainless Steel Spatula 
  • Rimmed Cookie Sheets (Half sheet pans)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup soft butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Sliced almonds optional

Instructions
 

  • Cream the butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat in the egg yolk and vanilla. Stir in the flour and salt.
  • Press into a greased 15×10" jelly roll pan. It will be a very thin layer. I like to wet my hands down to make the job a little easier.

  • If desired, sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cool before cutting.
