Heath bars: Toffee bits or Heath bars provide a satisfying crunch and sweet caramel flavor that complements the ice cream perfectly.

Recipe Variations

Chocolate Chips: Incorporating chocolate chips brings an extra layer of sweetness and richness, creating a more indulgent treat.
Chocolate Ice Cream: Swapping out vanilla for chocolate ice cream creates a richer flavor profile that contrasts wonderfully with the toffee bits.
Coffee Ice Cream: Using coffee ice cream adds a unique twist, bringing a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness of the toffee.
