"It's hard to describe these luscious little bars. Kind of like a toffee encrusted shortbread with a sweet soft/crackly topping. And a chocolate drizzle. What's left to say?"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan and set aside.
Step 2
With an electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add the brown sugar, beating well.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and coffee granules. Add to the butter mixture, beating just until blended.
Step 4
Stir in the crushed candy bars and the almonds. Spread the mixure into the prepared pan and bake for 18 minutes or until lightly browned.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, butter and vanilla. Spread over the warm, uncut bars.
Step 6
Let cool in the pan and then cut into 32 bars.
Step 7
To drizzle, place the semisweet chocolate chips into a heavy-duty Ziploc bag. Add a small amount of milk (about 1/2 tsp). Seal bag and submerge in hot water until chocolate melts. Dry the bag, squeeze to blend, snip a tiny corner of the bag with scissors, then drizzle the chocolate over the bars in thin wavy lines or whatever your inner artist desires.
