Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cup Roasted almonds, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until it forms a cohesive dough.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with your hands or the back of a spatula.

Step 6

Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and set.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust.

Step 8

Let the chocolate sit for 5 minutes to soften, then use an offset spatula to spread it evenly over the crust.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped roasted almonds over the melted chocolate, pressing them lightly into the chocolate to adhere.

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer them to the refrigerator for 1 hour to set the chocolate.

Step 11

Once the chocolate is fully set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares or preferred portions.

Step 12

Store the Toffee Chocolate Almond Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
