Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup Butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Toffee Layer

  • 1/4 cup Toffee Bits
  • 3/4 cup Toffee Bits (for topping)
  • 1/3 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 tbsp Butter, melted

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray to ensure easy release of the bars and set aside.
  2. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt until the mixture is combined. The dough will be crumbly but should hold together when pressed.
  3. Form and Bake Crust: Evenly press the crumbly mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish forming a compact layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Add Toffee Bits: Remove the crust from the oven and evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup of toffee bits over the warm crust to create the first toffee layer.
  5. Prepare and Pour Sauce: In a small bowl, mix 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Pour this sweet, buttery mixture evenly over the toffee bits on the crust.
  6. Return to Oven: Place the pan back in the oven and bake for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts bubbling, ensuring the toffee melts into the crust.
  7. Add Chocolate: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips evenly over the hot filling. Allow them to soften for 3 to 5 minutes, then gently spread the softened chocolate into a smooth layer over the toffee.
  8. Top with Remaining Toffee: Finally, sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup toffee bits on top of the melted chocolate layer for an added crunchy texture.

Notes

  • Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For easier spreading of chocolate chips, you can briefly warm them in the microwave before adding on top.
  • Use high-quality toffee bits and chocolate chips for best flavor.
  • If you prefer a gooier texture, slightly reduce the initial bake time of the crust.
