FAQs
Can I use different types of flour?
All-purpose flour works best for this recipe, but you can substitute with whole wheat flour for a denser texture, keeping in mind the flavor will be slightly different.
What can I do if I don’t have toffee bits?
If toffee bits are unavailable, chopped soft caramel candies or crushed toffee bars can be a good substitute to maintain the crunchy, sweet texture.
