Almond Toffee Bars
Experience the allure of these Almond Toffee Bars, a fusion of textures and flavors. Each bar is a work of art featuring a buttery base made with rolled oats and graham crackers.

As they bake the ingredients meld together while being enveloped in sweetened milk resulting in a gooey and caramelized center that beautifully contrasts with the crispy top. These bars are more than a treat; they offer an adventure by providing comfort and elegance in every delectable bite.

Notes
If you're a fan of Almond Toffee Bars but follow a diet don't worry! There are substitutions you can make to enjoy this treat without any gluten concerns. Instead of rolled oats use certified gluten-free oats that have been processed separately to avoid any contact, with gluten. Look for gluten-free graham cracker crumbs, which can be found in health food sections and crush them finely. When it comes to the toffee bits and chocolate chips just make sure to check the labels, for gluten-free options. Many brands offer alternatives that won't compromise on flavor.
