Spring-boarded off of a recipe on the back of a bag of Heath toffee bits. Had to come up with a quick dessert bar to take to a football game party. They were a hit!

How To Make chewy toffee almond joy bars
-
1Heat Oven to 350*. Grease the sides of a 13 x 9 x 2 baking pan-Well!
-
2Beat butter and sugar in mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour, beating until well blended.
-
3Press dough evenly into prepared pan.
-
4Bake 15 to 20 mins or until edges are lightly browned.
-
5Meanwhile, while the crust is baking, combine the toffee bits and corn syrup in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stiring quite often until the toffee bits are almost melted (about 10 to 12 mins)
-
6Stir in the Almonds and coconut (1/2 cup of each) into the corn syrup mixture. Turn off heat.
-
7Spread this toffee/almond/ coconut mixture onto the crust (dont worry, my crust was still hot from the oven)to within 1/4 inch of the edges of the crust. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of almonds and remaining 1/2 cup of coconut over the top.
-
8Bake for 15 mins more and then remove from oven and sprinkle Chocolate chips on top. Place back in oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 mins until bubbly. You can leave as is, or spread the melted chocolate over the almond/coconut mixture with a small spatula. (I left mine as is)
-
9Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars. I got 36 out of the pan
