Toffee Bars
Holiday season (aka baking season) is right around the corner! ????????
I mean, Wal-Mart already has all their holiday decorations out on the shelves…I know, it’s not even Halloween yet!
So today, I’m sharing my favorite Toffee Bars recipe with all of you. Your going to LOVE these unbelievably easy, incredibly delicious, sweet & salty, crisp, buttery Toffee Bars. I promise once you try them for yourself, you’ll see what I mean. And they make perfect gifts! ????
JUST A FEW BAKING TIPS:
✓ LINE YOUR BAKING PAN: To make it super easy for you to cut these bars into squares, line your 9×13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough overhang on the sides and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Once the bars have cooled lift the bars out of the pan, folding down the aluminum foil sides. Use a sharp knife to cut these bars into squares.
✓ MAKING THE CRUST: To make the crust, you can either combine all the ingredients using your fingers until the mixture becomes crumbly. Or you can use a food processor, I personally like to use a food processor because it makes making the crust a lot faster.
✓ DON’T OVER BAKE: These bars may seem like they are not done, but they ARE. It’s very easy to over bake these toffee bars and they will come out SUPER HARD. So I suggest only baking them for 15 minutes MAX, even if they “look” underdone.

These turned out fantastic! Thank you for sharing this recipe 🙂
Is there something I could substitute for the coconut? My family will not eat it. Maybe more nuts? Thank you!
You could leave the coconut out and add more nuts! 🙂
I officially start getting excited for the holidays after Halloween, but I secretly get excited the first day of September, just because getting into the autumn spirit gets me into the winter one as well 🙂 These toffee bars look fabulous! Pinning 🙂
