Coffee Toffee Bars

I found this on Tastykitchen.com It was very easy to make and tastes delicious. I used vanilla instead of the almond flavoring.

•1 cup Soft Butter Or Margarine
•1 cup Brown Sugar
•1 teaspoon Almond Extract
•1 Tablespoon Instant Coffee (Up To 2 Tablespoons For More Flavor)
•½ teaspoons Baking Powder
•¼ teaspoons Salt
•2-½ cups Flour (approximately)
•1 cup Chocolate Chips (Up To 2 Cups!)
Preparation Instructions
Cream together the butter and brown sugar.

Blend in the almond extract, instant coffee, baking powder and salt.

Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.

Press into a well-greased 9×13 pan (or a jellyroll pan if you’re doubling it) and sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Bake at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes.

•½ cups Vegetable oil
•1 stick Butter, Salted (8 Tablespoons)
•4 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder
•2 cups Sugar

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs and buttermilk together, then add them to the saucepan and combine the batter well.

Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time, combining after each addition until smooth.

Pour over the warm cake.
