2 eggs
1/2 cup finely chopped toffee candy bars (two 1.4-oz. bars)
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
TOPPING
4 oz. cream cheese (from 8-oz. pkg.), softened
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee granules or crystals
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped toffee candy bar (four 1.4-oz. bars)
