I halved the recipe with the exception of the coffee and put into a ready made cookie pie crust. So fast and easy and yummy.

This recipe was so easy to make and it was delicious! I added 1/2 to 3/4 heath bar bits and then topped it with pecans and more toffee bits.

I added extra coffee because I love the flavor of coffee, and I added vanilla ice cream because I had some I wanted out of my freezer and thought it would make it creamier. It turned out delicious, except I put it in a springform pan and put way too much topping on it. When it was out of the freezer and got cut it melted like a blob of ice cream! I think next time I will make a bigger pan and have the topping not be so high.
