Skor Toffee Caramel And Chocolate Bars Recipes

MASCARPONE CHOCOLATE TOFFEE BARS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spray a 7 by 10 3/4-inch nonstick baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. Lay a 6 by 18-inch piece of parchment paper in the pan, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides. Spray the parchment paper lightly with cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cookie dough, 1/2 of the chopped chocolate-toffee candy pieces and vanilla extract. Using damp fingers, gently press the dough into the prepared pan. Using the tines of a fork, prick the dough all over. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the crust is lightly browned. Cool for 15 minutes.
• Place the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a medium bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir until the chocolate has melted. Cool the chocolate mixture for 10 minutes. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate mixture over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate-toffee candy pieces and sliced almonds over the chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate layer is firm.
• Peel off the parchment paper and cut into 1 1/2 by 2-inch bars. Serve at room temperature.
• *Cook's Note: To toast almonds, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly browned.

SKOR TOFFEE, CARAMEL AND CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a heavy 9 X 13 baking pan with parchment paper. Leave extra at ends to lift out squares when baked. BASE: Pulse sugar, flour and salt in food processor. Add 3/4 cup cold butter and pulse until butter is in small bits but not completely blended - as you would with pastry. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, or until evenly golden. Cool pan on wire rack while preparing filling. FILLING: Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add condensed milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened, turning golden and starting to have a drier texture (like homemade glue or sticky oatmeal). Spread over baked base. Return pan to oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until evenly golden and starting to bubble. TOPPING: Melt milk chocolate over double boiler or in microwave. With knife or spatula and a light touch (to avoid mixing the layers), spread chocolate evenly over filling. Immediately sprinkle Skor bits evenly on top of chocolate layer, while it's still hot, pressing gently but firmly into chocolate. Cool completely before removing from pan. To remove from pan, loosen edges with knife or spatula, and lift out by ends of paper. Cut with sharp knife on board. Makes about 32 bars. Store at room temperature. They freeze beautifully.

• Spread this over baked crust in baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden; remove from oven but leave oven on.
• Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over top; return to oven for 2 minutes, or until the chips soften and are shiny.
• Remove from oven (turn oven off now) and spread the chocolate evenly; then sprinkle the Skor bits over the chocolate, pressing down with a very light touch to embed the Skor bits into the chocolate.
• You could cut them into bars right away, but they will cut easier if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few minutes.
• Best served at room temperature, not cold.
