Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pecans or almonds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt, ensuring everything is well combined.
Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to create a smooth base layer.
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the crust is baking, prepare the chocolate topping by measuring out the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).
Once the crust is baked, remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot crust. Let sit for 2-3 minutes until the chocolate begins to melt.
Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the melted chocolate evenly over the surface of the crust.
Sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the chocolate layer, gently pressing them into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
Store the toffee bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
