CAPPUCCINO CRUNCH BARS

Category: Bars

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup butter, room temperature
1-1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules or espresso powder, dissolved in 1 Tablespoon hot water and cooled to room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup toffee baking bits

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in large bowl; set aside.

Beat butter and sugars in large bowl until light and fluffy; about 3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add coffee mixture and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture; beat until well blended. Stir in white chocolate chips and toffee bits.

Spread batter evenly in a well greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown (mine took 25). Cool completely on a wire rack. To get nice clean edges on the bars I refrigerate them for a couple hours before cutting them.
