COFFEE TOFFEE CRUNCH BARS
These homemade candy bars are reminiscent of your favorite Ben & Jerry's ice cream - chocolate feuilletine crust and a coffee mousse are layered together for contrasting flavor and crunch. Once the bars have set, cut them into rectangles and top each with a white chocolate cremeux for a decadent, sweet treat.

Steps:
- For the base: Line a baking sheet with parchment and put a 15-by-11-inch ring mold on top. Spray the parchment and ring mold with cooking spray.
- Melt the praline paste and white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) a saucepan of simmering water, stirring to combine. Fold in the feuilletine. Spread evenly on the bottom of the prepared ring mold. Sprinkle the crushed toffee pieces over the crust. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- For the mousse: Put the milk chocolate in a large bowl. Bloom the gelatin sheets in a bowl of ice water until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Bring the milk, coffee extract, salt and bloomed gelatin to a boil in a medium saucepan. Puree with an immersion blender until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve over the milk chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Allow to cool to 90 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream by hand or with an electric mixer on medium speed until it holds a ribbon on the surface when the whisk is lifted.
- Fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 3 additions. Pour over the feuilletine base and smooth evenly with an offset spatula. Allow to set, about 45 minutes, then wrap with plastic wrap and freeze the layered base overnight.
- For the cremeaux: Put the white chocolate and glucose syrup in a large bowl. Bloom the gelatin sheets in a bowl of ice water until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Bring the cream, milk and bloomed gelatin to a boil in a large saucepan. Strain through a fine mesh sieve over the white chocolate and glucose. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir with a rubber spatula to combine. Press plastic wrap directly on the surface so it doesn't form a skin and cover the bowl with another piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Flip the frozen layered base over (still in the ring mold), peel off the parchment and place on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Run a hot knife around the edges of the layered base and lift the ring mold to remove. Let sit at room temperature until it can be cut, 15 to 20 minutes and no more than 30 minutes. Test by touching the center with your fingertip. If it leaves a fingerprint, it's ready to cut.
- Cut into 1-by-4-inch inch bars (or whatever size you want). Whip the cremeux to stiff peaks with an electric mixer on medium-high speed and place in a piping bag with a small plain round or star pastry tip. Pipe the cremeux in small dollops or rosettes on top of each bar.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time: This will make the assembly process much smoother and faster. Make sure the coffee is brewed, the toffee bits are chopped, and the nuts are toasted (if desired) before you start baking.
- Use good quality chocolate: The chocolate is a key flavor component in this torte, so don't skimp on quality. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no streaks of flour visible.
- Bake the torte until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the cake. Check the torte a few minutes before the recommended baking time is up to avoid overbaking.
- Let the torte cool completely before assembling: This will help to prevent the layers from sliding around and making a mess. You can also chill the layers for an hour or two before assembling to make them even easier to handle.
Conclusion:
This coffee toffee crunch torte is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, crunchy toffee bits, and whipped cream topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this torte a try. You won't be disappointed!
