Heath Bars or Skor Bars....I'm sure people are gonna reply with dozens more....HTH:cool:

The best Toffee in the World is Enstrom's Almond Toffee. You can probably order it on their website.
 
Harriet posted a bunch of recipes on the trifle. I will try to find them for you.
 
Heath Bars or Skor Bars just like Ginger said or butter fingers work too.:)
 
You can get Skor bits in the baking aisle. They're already chopped.

Start with a layer of cake or cookies, followed by a layer of toffee, then a layer of pudding or whipped cream. Repeat the layers, finishing with whipped cream on top. This creates a visually appealing and delicious dessert.
