Finely chop 1 chocolate bar.  Shave the remaining chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler to make chocolate curls.

Stir the espresso powder and water in a medium bowl until the powder is dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in the toffee bits and the chopped chocolate.

Recipe Note: Warming the chocolate bar in your hand first will make it easier to create the chocolate curls.
