Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, and 1 egg. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and the batter is thick. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Add the remaining 2 eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the top of the cream cheese layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when moved. Be careful not to overbake, as the cake should remain gooey in the center.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the baking dish.
Cut into squares or bars to serve. Enjoy the rich, chocolatey, and buttery goodness with hints of crunchy toffee in every bite.
