How to Make Almond Toffee Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Mix well.
- Gradually blend in 2 cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press dough evenly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the chocolate topping: Melt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon butter until glossy.
- Pour melted chocolate over the baked crust and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle generously with ½ cup sliced almonds.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for easier cutting and to allow the chocolate to fully set.
