Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups toffee bits (e.g., Heath Bits O' Brickle)
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in 1 cup of toffee bits, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soften, then use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of toffee bits over the melted chocolate layer.
Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set the chocolate layer.
Cut into 24 bars and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
