To create the cookie crust:<\/strong><\/span>
\nHeat oven to 350\u00b0F<\/strong>. Lightly spray bottom and sides of 13×9-inch pan<\/a><\/strong> with cooking spray. \u00a0In large bowl, stir cookie mix, pudding mix, brown sugar, melted butter, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and 1 whole egg until soft dough forms. \u00a0Press dough in bottom and 1\/2 inch up sides of pan.<\/p>\n

Now make the cheesecake filling:<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn small bowl<\/strong>, beat cream cheese, sour cream and sugar with
electric mixer<\/a><\/strong> on medium speed until smooth. Add remaining whole egg, 3 egg yolks and remaining 1 1\/2 teaspoons vanilla; beat until smooth. Spread over crust in pan.
\nBake 30 to 35 minutes or until set in center. \u00a0Cool completely. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.<\/p>\n

Finish with a English toffee topping:<\/strong><\/span>
\nCut bars<\/strong> and sprinkle tops evenly with granulated sugar, about 1 teaspoon per bar. \u00a0With a
kitchen torch<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>caramelize the tops of each bar. \u00a0Sprinkle with the English toffee bit-almond topping. \u00a0Again with the torch, quickly melt the chocolate and lightly toast the nuts. \u00a0Let them set for about 5 minutes and serve.<\/p>\n
