I don’t know about you, but there is just something so perfect about chocolate and toffee when it’s paired together. Maybe it’s because they are both creamy and compliment each other so nicely? Or maybe it’s just because the flavors work well together? Whatever the reason is, any time these two ingredients are together in a recipe, it turns out fantastic!

What is Toffee Flavor?
Toffee flavor is absolutely delicious and is perfect for this Toffee Cookie Bar recipe because the combination goes together very well. Toffee is basically caramelized sugar. This sugar is mixed with butter or sometimes flour. You can also use molasses when making it.
Can These Be Made as Cookies Instead?
It is possible to turn a certain recipe from one thing to another. However, when doing this you will have to fit the measurements and times to that of a cookie recipe. This Toffee Cookie Bar recipe is the best form of this recipe.
