Sometimes just a chocolate bar is what you need to brighten your day. At the moment, of course, popping out to get a chocolate bar isn’t essential travel so when desperate times strike, you need to make your own! Toffee Crisp bars have chocolate coated Rice Krispies base then a chewy buttery caramel on top, all coated in more milk chocolate. My parents had a craving for some and luckily had all the ingredients to create my own. Here’s my recipe for a Homemade Toffee Crisp Bars!
The caramel is from Cloudy Kitchen’s wonderful website from her Salted Caramel Shortbread Bars, using soft dark brown sugar, you get a deep treacly flavour to your caramel which actually cuts through the overall richness of the chocolate bars. I simmered the mixture for 7 minutes rather than 4 minutes to make the mixture thicker to hold up to being able to be cut easier.
The bars are delicious as the crisp base and caramel but to make it really like the real thing, you got to coat them in more chocolate. I put mine straight on parchment rather than a rack so you get a nice thick coating, but you can let the excess drip off over a rack. But sho’s going to argue with some extra chocolate.
