Cappuccino Crunch Bars




Become a Fan of Noble Pig Vineyards on Facebook, we'd love to have you.

If you have a sweet tooth and want some delicious while sipping a steaming cup of hot coffee, these bars will satisfy you.  They are so good.

The hubby informed me that dessert was a bit scarce around the house so I quickly whipped these up.  It's really hard not grabbing one every time I pass through the kitchen.

The coffee addition really gives them a rich background flavor and the white chocolate chip and toffee really puts them over the top.  Just what we needed with all the excess Halloween Candy over here!

Oh well, these are nice to have around the house for the holiday season and would be a great addition to any cookie platters you have going out to friends.




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




Beat butter and sugars in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed 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.




These really brown up nicely in the oven.




Don't eat them all at once.
