To toast almonds:

Ingredients
1 cup (225 grams) unsalted butter
3/4 cup (150 grams) light brown sugar, packed firmly into the grains
One large egg yolk
Two teaspoons of ground ginger
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips or 1 3/4 cups sliced almonds, toasted and cooled
Instructions
To melt chocolate, chop it up and place it in a pyrex baking cup. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until melted and smooth.
*The toffee can be stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 weeks in a tightly sealed plastic container. You may also freeze the toffee.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9-inch pie plate and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy in a medium bowl. Beat in the egg yolk, then stir in the ground ginger.
Tip the creamed mixture into the prepared pie plate, spreading it evenly.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and firm to touch when gently shaken from side to side. Let cool slowly and thoroughly before cutting into bars or squares.
Melt 8 ounces of the semisweet chocolate chips or sliced almonds in a medium bowl over low heat, stirring, until smooth.
Tip the melted chocolate into a small plastic bag and snip off one of the bottom corners. Drizzle about one teaspoon of melted chocolate over each bar before serving.*
These bars can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 months.

Ginger, almond butter, and chocolate are the three ingredients that go into these great bars. They have the right amount of sweetness and decadence without being overly rich or cloying.
The toffee contributes a subtle depth of flavor, while the almonds add a bit of sweetness and nuttiness that goes well with the chocolate.
Together, these two flavors create a fantastic pairing.
Variations
When making these bars, you don’t have to feel constrained to use only a single type of chocolate because the recipe is adaptable and works well with all of the standard chocolate varieties and flavors.
If you want to push the boat out and you are not counting calories, you might want to try jazzing up your bars by adding branded chocolates like Malteasers or something similar to them as an ingredient.
This adds more chocolate content to the bars and extra texture and crunch.
This is just one example of many other additional chocolates you could add to this recipe. There are plenty of others.
In light of the previous, if you are interested in a vegan option or simply want to improve your overall diet, you may want to consider including some dried fruit in your bars to contain more vitamins and other essential nutrients.
These can be great replacements for kids’ snacks or serve as a more nutritious alternative to the typical chocolate bar.
The simple act of crushing, grating, or decorating your bars with your preferred chocolate, fruit, or candy is a foolproof method for making your taste buds dance with excitement. Not to mention the family.
