Directions
-
Combine crushed chocolate wafers with melted butter; press firmly onto the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish to form a crust.

In a large bowl, cream together sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
-
Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition until incorporated.
-
Stir in melted unsweetened chocolate, instant coffee crystals, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
-
In a separate clean bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add the remaining sugar to the egg whites, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two or three batches, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
-
Spread the chocolate mixture evenly over the prepared wafer crust.
-
Sprinkle crushed chocolate-coated toffee bars generously over the top.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze overnight or until the squares are completely firm.
