I’m a sucker for impulse buys.

They get me all the time at the grocery store with their clever little displays of chocolate bars conveniently placed at the check out stand.

It doesn’t end there.

I can recall days when I was 100% sure I needed, no… NEEDED,  the “Flex Belt” to effortlessly sculpt my abs while I sat on the couch and ate chocolate bars. My husband would chase me around the house while I was frantically trying to punch in the 1-800 number on the phone.

Luckily my husband is quick, and snagged the phone out of my hands, then nicely talked me off the edge of a mental breakdown because I couldn’t have it NOW!

This is normal, right?

What I love so much about these Oats ‘n’ Toffee Chocolate Squares is that they combine all of my favorites from those delicious candy bars into a quick and easy treat I can make at home.

Yes, smokehouse almonds. What a glorious flavor boost.

It’s smokey, salty, nutty and crunchy.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, extending the paper over the edges. Place graham cracker squares in an even layer on top of the parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl stir together the oats, sugar, brown sugar and flour. Add the melted butter, egg, and vanilla, and stir till combined. Scoop mixture onto graham cracker squares and carefully spread into an even layer.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until oat mixture bubbles and is light brown on top. Remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with the chocolate pieces. Return to the oven for one minute, then use a rubber spatula to spread the chocolate into an even layer. Top with the chopped almonds.

  • Enjoy!

  5. These sound phenomenal! I totally agree about impulse buys – my favorite candy is this chocolate caramel marshmallow thing that they always have next to the aisle at my favorite grocery store. Gets me 98% of the time. These look so phenomenal though! I love the addition of smokehouse almonds. I bet it adds wonderful flavor. Pinned!

  6. OMG looks so good. I’ve avoided your last couple of posts because I’m doing low-carb and didn’t want to be caught drooling on my keyboard. 😉 If you ever have any ideas for low-carb goodness I’d love if you’d share with us! 🙂
