I figure I made one huge mistake with these cookies this week.
I only made half a batch.
Our task this week for TWD was brought to us by Whitney of What’s left on the table? Whitney chose Caramel Crunch Bars, and oh my word are they ever delicious!
Using an 8x8" square pan, I pressed in the shortbread base that was flavored with chopped chocolate, cinnamon, and instant coffee or espresso powder. That combination on its own would be fine with me.
After baking, I sprinkled on some more finely chopped chocolate, let it melt before spreading it over the shortbread base, then added some finely chopped toffee*, pressing it into the chocolate layer. After refrigerating it to let the chocolate harden, I removed the giant cookie from the pan, then cut it into small pieces. I didn't have any trouble with the toffee bits falling off, since they were securely glued onto the cookie base with the chocolate.
We instantly loved these cookies, and they just keep improving as they sit (assuming they last that long). I will most certainly make these again and share them with others, only I will make a full batch instead of a half.
I'm wondering how the other TWD bakers liked these cookies, so I'll be sure to check their blogs during the coming week.

oooh - yours look thicker than mine - and I bet that makes them better! Nice job!
I thought that they were better after sitting, too! They look wonderful.
Yours look nice and crunchy. I hope they were enjoyed!
Looks wonderful! We enjoyed them too!
wow - yours look so nice and thick! I wish I could say mine improved with age, but they were gone in a flash!
Nice job!
I almost doubled this recipe.
Wishing that I had.
They look great! My toffee bits were falling off for some reason.
Well maybe not a mistake if now you can look forward to a full batch soon ;)
They really were tasty! Well, the good news is that you can make some more quickly. :)
I loved these crunch bars and I'm glad you did too. They're wonderful. Especially with ice cream.
Wish I had made them since everyone so far has given them rave reviews. Yours look really yummy!!!
LOL on the half a batch comment...yours look great. Thanks for the giggle.
Your bars look great! I think I'm in the minority this week - it seems that everyone loved them, but they weren't my favorite. Glad you liked them :)
half batch of this fabulous treat equates to one serving in my house!
Great job!!!!
They're great cookies to share & yours look absolutely amazing.
So glad you loved them! These were definitely better after a few days! They look great!
Yummy! I love your "mistake" of making 1/2 a batch. Too funny!
