When I was grocery shopping, I noticed I product I hadn’t seen before – Heath Bar Toffee Bits. I have used Heath Bars for different recipes before, and I thought I could surely come up with a recipe that would accommodate this find, so I purchased them. I used them for the top of my Famous Chocolate Refrigerator Roll. I figured they would be really good in cookies too. I have some two great chocolate chip cookie recipes. We have our favorite cookie dough that I was going to use, but I was out of butter Crisco. I immediately thought of the Rolo stuffed chocolate chip cookies that we love. The only thing I really changed in the recipe was eliminating the Rolos, cutting the chocolate chips in half and adding a cup of Heath bars. To simplify it, I will add the recipe for you here. We started with a great base and added Heath bar pieces. How could it go wrong? They were great.
Heath Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
INGREDIENTS
| Ingredients | |

| 1 | cup granulated sugar |
| 1 | cup packed brown sugar |

2. Measure dough using a medium cookie scoop (about 1.5 tablespoons) or roll into a ball.
3. On cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, place dough balls 2 inches apart.
6. Bake in your oven or cooker (as they liked to call it when I lived in England) 11 to 13 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool 10 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
As always – encourage your kids to help in the kitchen.

I love to bake with my grand daughter. I love the little toffee bits. They taste great in lots of cookies. A favorite recipe we use these in are Almond roca cookies
Yum! I’m going to have to find those Heath bar bits!
