Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and is crumbly.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth it out.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the hot crust. Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes to melt, then use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut and sliced almonds evenly over the melted chocolate, pressing them gently into the chocolate to adhere.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the coconut is lightly toasted and golden.
Allow the toffee bars to cool completely in the pan before using the parchment paper overhang to lift them out.
Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
