For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the crust and omit the added salt. If you don't have Heath® bars, any chocolate-covered toffee candy will work well. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For easier cutting, chill the bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing.
