Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed toffee bits
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or almonds)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and salt to the butter mixture, then mix until combined.
Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough forms and the ingredients are well incorporated.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to create a flat, compact layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot base.
Let the chocolate chips sit for 2-3 minutes to soften, then use an offset spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the surface.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed toffee bits and chopped nuts (if using) over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them down to adhere.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or chill in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes to set the chocolate fully.
Once cooled and set, lift the toffee crunchies out of the pan using the parchment overhang, and cut into squares or rectangles for serving.
