I made these bars for the first time last week
and they are verrrrry yummy.
They were great the first day and just as good several days later.
I got the recipe from this blog.
Almond Toffee Bars
1 1/2 c flour
1/2 c powdered sugar
6 oz sliced almonds
1 c cold butter
1 can sweetened condensed milk
8 oz package of chocolate toffee bits
1 egg
1 t vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Combine flour, sugar, and 1/4 c of the almonds
in a food processor. Mix to combine.
Cut butter into chunks and add to processor.
Mix to cut butter into the flour mixture until it
resembles coarse crumbs.
Grease a 9 x 13" pan.
Press crust mixture into bottom of pan.
Bake for 15 minutes.
In a small bowl mix together the can of milk,
toffee bits, egg and vanilla. Pour over hot crust.
Top with remaining almonds and bake 27-30 minutes
until golden brown.
Cool completely before cutting into squares.
Enjoy!

DeleteHi Susa, You wanted to see my little kitchen, so I've done a post especially for you and Gloria to go and have a look around it. Don't break anything while you're in there.

I wiil see Keith Thanks!!
Deletex
I hope dont break any omy!
DeleteWonderful! I am heading there now... I promise to be careful.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't wordpress let you comment on his blog, Suzanne?
DeleteI didn't realise you had started blogging again, Keith. I'm glad you have. I love your kitchen - absolutely perfect. Great floor, wonderful shade of blue on your cupboards, your own stained glass - lovely. I covet your French dresser - what talents you have. You have to be kidding - I don't think it looks crude at all. I want one! Fun to see Betsy's calendar on another wall. And the cup is la pièce de résistance. How amazing to have such a large window – you look like you live in the treetops – beautiful. Thank you so much for the tour! *Backing out carefully so I don't break anything*
ReplyDeleteI'm just off to bed. As I was closing down I saw your reply. I live on the side of a steep hill and look out over the woods and fields for over 15 miles! The previous occupants had that big picture window put in, and I'm glad they did.
DeleteI'm glad they did too - amazing view. Goodnight.
DeleteNot sure - it's awaiting moderation. But I wanted to say something here too as his invite was here. Sorry - should have not been so long winded!
ReplyDelete:-)
Oh, goodness...I don't care if you talk here...or how long it is! haha. I just thought it would be a shame if you couldn't comment there for some reason. Don't you love his kitchen? Old World Charm...
DeleteI do indeed - it looks so welcoming. And I can't get over the French dresser... and that view! I made a funny error in my comments to him on his blog. I said "I love our kitchen" instead of "your." Ha! Keith will think I am moving in with him! :-D
DeleteI saw that Suzy and I think was funny:))
DeleteIs that why he's gotten all quiet? lol...
Deletehah I think he is sleeping. Iol
DeleteBetsy I put new pics in your wall when you can see!
ok! I'll come see!
DeleteHa! Yes, Betsy - it will probably give him nightmares! Laughing. Hi, Gloria - did you see "our" kitchen? :-)
DeleteFreudian slip, maybe? haha....Keith is a catch, that's for sure! lol....
DeleteI saw Suzy and I think was pretty funny!!
DeleteSounds like a truly scrumptious combination! xx
ReplyDeleteIf you like shortbread crust, this is the bar cookie for you! yum.
DeleteI love these bars look amazing Betsy!
ReplyDeleteJust delicious!
Aren't they pretty? I love the look of the almonds on top!
DeleteIs the same I think! I have to buy almonds I havent now!!
DeleteNext time I make these I might try pecans. I bet they would taste a lot like pecan pie!
DeleteThese are so pretty and they sound yummy!
ReplyDeletePS - my lam arrived today and I love it. Thanks!
That was supposed to say my lamp!
DeleteOh, so glad it got there safely! Thanks so much for buying it!
DeleteThose do sound delicious.
ReplyDeleteand very easy, too!
DeleteWell I eat almonds at my sea
ReplyDeleteThat is a plus for me?
I can just see you picking that layer off the top,
Deleteleaving the rest of us crust and chocolate.
haha.
haha been there done that
DeleteMany a time at my mat
Just so the pan ends up empty,
Deletethen everyone is happy.
lol.
Out of this world Betsy . . . . . wonderful . . . . wish I lived next door . . . lol
ReplyDeleteHey....I thought you wished you lived next door to me?
DeleteHahaha!
They look spectacular Betsy....wish I lived next door! Ha!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
Yes, he does wish he lived next to you...and he calls you Babe! haha.
DeleteThey are delish...next time you need a bar cookie give them a try.
I bought peaches for Martha's pie challenge today. They need to ripen up, though...maybe by the weekend
I'll be making it.
Yes...I must get on that...had a VERY busy day today...
DeleteI have a bunch of frozen fruit...think I'll make a "berry combo" pie....
He DOES NOT call me Babe! Does he? Hahaha!
I seem to recall that name last week, yes! But you are a babe, so it fits! :)
DeleteAnd I love the looks of your berry combo pies. I think that's called a Bumbleberry Pie!
No rush...I won't be making mine until the weekend I don't think.
I will earmark Thursday as pie day!
DeleteHello girls . . . lol
DeleteMaybe I'll just sit here and look at them.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh.....
:0)
No harm in looking! lol....
DeleteI should really only bake pies to look at... and smell.
DeleteI couldn't do it. ha.
Deletethis looks like desert for yesterdays corn, what a delicious meal!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would be totally happy with that meal!
DeleteHi Betsy .. ideal ingredients for a delicious mix and subsequent bar ... they look totally scrumptious ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThey were scrumptious....it's always nice when a new recipe is a keeper.
DeletePlanning ahead on the cooking is a great idea for the upcoming remodel...anxious to see what the finished kitchen will look like! Happy Birthday to "the Mister".
ReplyDeleteToday I'm cooking for tomorrow...(auction day and T/L come for dinner) but I do have on my to do list for next month to get some meals in the freezer to have during the remodel. Not sure I'll have a working oven during that time, so anything that can just be thawed and heated in the microwave will be wonderful!
DeleteI'll pass along the birthday wishes! :) Gee, we're all getting old, aren't we?
oh my betsy
ReplyDeletethose sound really good...and i get they taste awesome...
nice layer of flavors....
you know i dont need to gain weight, right? ha
Oh, just print it off and have it with the corn! You can diet the next day. haha.
DeleteHappy Birthday to the Mister!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne...I'll pass that along! :)
DeleteWhy must you put such temptation on your blog?! ;)
ReplyDeletelol....You must make these! A new favorite for us.
DeleteOh! And by the way- your header is DARLING!
ReplyDeleteGloria sent me that 'pin' today and I thought it would make a cute header...and it's SO 'me'....even 5 birds! haha.
