How to Make Almond Toffee Mocha Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Spread 1 cup of chopped almonds on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden brown. Set aside to cool.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Grease the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) brownie mix, 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1/2 cup water, and 2 large eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped toffee candy bars and 1/2 cup toasted almonds.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
  9. While the brownies cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat together 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
  10. Increase the mixer speed to high. Beat in 1 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  11. Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  12. Sprinkle 1 cup chopped toffee candy bars and 1/2 cup toasted almonds over the frosting.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the frosting to set before serving.
  14. Cut into bars and enjoy!
