   • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan:

   • Line a 9-by-9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving some extra foil at each end.
   • Grease and flour the foil to prevent sticking.

3. Toast the Almond Pieces:

   • In a frying pan over medium-low heat, toast the almond pieces, stirring frequently, until they become fragrant and start to color, which should take about 7 minutes.
   • Once toasted, pour them out of the pan and set them aside for later use.

4. Prepare the Toffee Bars:

   • Chop the toffee bars into 1/2-inch pieces. If you’re using snack-size bars, simply chop them in half.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients:

   • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the melted butter and brown sugar, ensuring to break up any hard lumps of brown sugar.
   • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.

7. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

   • Gradually beat in the flour mixture until a smooth batter forms.

8. Add Mix-Ins:

   • Combine the toasted almonds, chopped toffee bars, and chocolate chips in a bowl, mixing them well.
   • Stir the mixture into the batter, ensuring that all the mix-ins are evenly distributed.

9. Bake the Bars:

   • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
   • Bake for about 40 minutes (adjust for 8-by-8-inch pan accordingly), or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
   • Note: If the toothpick comes out covered with chocolate, try another spot as it may hit a chocolate chip.
   • Keep in mind, a toothpick might seem clean after 30 minutes, but a closer look might reveal it’s still wet.

10. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least an hour.
    • Lift them out by the edges of the foil, peel away the foil, and cut the bars into serving pieces.

These Toffee-Chocolate-Almond Bars are a delightful treat that combines the richness of chocolate, the crunch of almonds, and the sweetness of toffee, creating a perfect harmony of flavors in every bite. Enjoy the indulgence! 🍫✨
