Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (186g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (57g) powdered sugar
  • 6 ounces sliced almonds 1 package
  • 1 cup (226g) cold unsalted butter (salted may be used)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (regular not fat free)
  • 1 8-ounce package toffee bits (English toffee bits or Bits 'O Brickle)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Combine flour, sugar, and ¼ cup of almonds in a medium bowl. You can use a stand mixer or hand mixer for this. If using a stand mixer the dough will come together like a thick cookie dough. If using a hand mixer it'll take awhile and the dough may stay crumbly - mix until it sticks together when you press a clump in your hand.
  • Line a 9×13” baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Press butter mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Stir sweetened condensed milk, toffee bits, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour over hot, partially baked crust.
  • Top with remaining almonds and continue baking 23-27 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely and cut into squares.

Notes

  • If you can't find the toffee bits, finely chop Heath bars instead.
  • Let cool completely before slicing.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or you can freeze them. If stacking, stack between wax or parchment papers so they don't stick.
