If you like Toffee, you'll love these.  Makes 24 blondies.  Great with a little chocolate melted on top, too.

  1 1/4 Cup Butter                                                                      1/2 Cup Sugar

  2 1/4 Cup All Purpose Flour                                                    3 Large Eggs

  1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder                                                         2 1/2 Tsp Almond Extract

  1 1/2 Tsp Salt                                                                           1 Cup Almonds, Chopped

  2 Cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed                                           12 Ounce Toffee Bits

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the butter until it turns golden brown; remove from heat, and let cool. While cooling, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine browned butter and both sugars; beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, combining thoroughly after each, until light and fluffy. Add almond extract and beat to combine. Add flour mixture, almonds,  and toffee bits. Mix until thoroughly combined, and pour into prepared pan.

Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
