Looking for something different for dessert? These Delicious Almond Toffee Bars are crunchy, nutty and chocolatey! Cut them into bars and watch them disappear!
I enjoy making cookies. Bar cookies, drop cookies, cut-out cookies. Plain and simple, cookies are one of my go-to desserts. They are easy to make and easy to serve to your guests. In addition, who doesn’t like a good cookie? What I like about bar cookies is that you can make them in one batch, unlike drop cookies that take several batches to complete.
These Delicious Almond Toffee Bars start off with a super easy base of oats, dark brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, finely chopped almonds and melted butter. Mix the ingredients together, press into your pan and bake until golden brown. About 10-15 minutes. The toffee-like flavor comes from using dark brown sugar, instead of granulated sugar. While your base is baking, just combine 2 tablespoons of butter and one can of condensed milk and heat over medium heat in a small sauce pan until slightly thick. Place on top of your base and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until golden brown. Once out of the oven, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the warm bars. Let sit and melt for a minute or two. Then spread the melted chocolate chips over the top. Cool, refrigerate, cut into 1-1.5 inch bars, serve and watch them disappear!
