The recipe is from My Kitchen Cafe which is probably my favorite food blog to get recipes from. The only thing I changed is that the recipe said to use softened butter but usually when making a crust that you cut butter in with a pastry blender you use really cold butter. So I used cold butter and it worked perfectly. You could probably do either way though. (And I also didn't put nuts in but I'm sure they would taste good in them.)
Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
- 2 1/3 c. Flour
- 1/4 t. salt
- 2/3 c. brown sugar
- 3/4 c. butter (1 1/2 sticks)
- 2 eggs, slightly beaten
- 2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 c. coarsely chopped nuts (optional)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 package toffee bits, divided
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9X13 pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Add eggs and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands. Mix in 1 1/2 c. of the chocolate chips and the nuts. Set aside 1 1/2 c. of the dough mixture. Press the remaining dough into the prepared 9X13 pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Pour the sweentened condensed milk evenly over the crust. Top with all but 1/3 of the toffee bits. Place pieces of remaining dough over the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 c. chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 more minutes, or until golden brown. Sprinkle the remaining toffee chips on top. Cool completely before serving.
