Coffee Toffee Bars

These bars are a treat I've always

enjoyed at Christmas time

when my sis in law Amy makes them.

However being GF has taken that

pleasure away.

The other night I was craving something

different for a snack and suddenly

remembered these and decided to try

them GF and they are just as

good!

Coffee Toffee Bars

 

1 c. butter

1 c. brown sugar

1 tsp almond extract

1 T. instant coffee powder

2 1/4 c. flour (I used Mamas Almond mix)

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 c. chocolate chips

 

Combine butter, sugar, almond extract &

coffee powder. Cream together. Combine

dry ingredients & add to creamed mixture.

Stir in Chocolate chips.

Press into 9x13 pan. Bake at 350*

for 20 minutes. Cool. Frost with

almond buttercream frosting if desired.

 

Frosting

1/2 c. butter

3 c. powdered sugar

3 T. milk

1 tsp almond extract

Combine all and beat until light & fluffy.

 

They are actually very good without the

frosting also, but I'm a frosting lover so

I did them like Amy does!
