Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup toasted almonds roughly chopped
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups shortbread crumbs store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate milk or dark, chopped or chips
  • 1/2 cup milk toffee chopped into small bits
Optional:
  • Pinch of sea salt for topping
  • Extra chocolate drizzle for decoration

Method
 

Prepare the Base:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine shortbread crumbs, melted butter, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until slightly crumbly but can hold together when pressed.
Add Almonds and Toffee:
  1. Fold in toasted almonds and half of the chopped milk toffee. Make sure the mixture is evenly combined.
Press Into Pan:
  1. Line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the pan using a spatula or your hands.
Add Chocolate Topping:
  1. Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Pour over the pressed almond mixture and smooth with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining toffee pieces on top.
Chill & Slice:
  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chocolate is firm. Remove from the pan using parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles. For clean edges, warm your knife under hot water and wipe dry before slicing.
