This Toffee Bits recipe is easy and only requires 3 ingredients. Most toffee recipes are more or less the same with slight adjustments to quantities. We like Handle The Heat’s recipe it uses a little less butter but produces a great toffee flavor. These little bites are super versatile add them to ice cream, cookies, brownies, or cover them with chocolate and sprinkle them with some almonds.They are addictive GOOD LUCK!
We included these in our NYT Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe, give them a try.
