Preparing the Shortbread Base

The rich toffee, studded with crunchy nuts, will bring a buttery sweetness to each bite, while the smooth chocolate layer will add a luxurious finish. With these irresistible components in place, all left is to bake and cool the bars before cutting them into squares for a decadent treat that will impress.

Baking and Cooling the Bars

Once the toffee and chocolate layers are added, the bars are ready to be baked in the oven until the edges are golden brown and the layers have set. After baking, allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for a quicker set. Once cooled, you can easily slice the bars into neat squares to serve and enjoy each bite’s decadent combination of flavors and textures.

Cutting and Serving the Decadent Bars

To slice and serve these decadent bars, use a sharp knife to cut through the layers of toffee, chocolate, and buttery shortbread.
