CHOCOLATE CHIP TOFFEE BARS

CHOCOLATE CHIP TOFFEE BARS
ADAPTED FROM Leigh Anne Wilkes at Your Home Based Mom

2 1/3 cup flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chilled butter
1 egg slightly beaten
12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips**
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
10 oz. package Heath toffee bits

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Stir together flour and brown sugar.
  • Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add egg and blend well.
  • Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this flour mixture.
  • Press remaining flour mixture into a greased 9×13 inch pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 350°.
  • Pour milk over hot crust and top with 1 1/2 cups of the toffee bits.
  • Stir in 1 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips into reserved crumb mixture.
  • Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over top.
  • Top with remaining chocolate chips.
  • Bake 25-30 more minutes.
  • Top with remaining toffee bits.

NOTE**: I like to mix up the flavors and use milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, cinnamon chips, peanut butter chips… or any mixture there of.  I also prefer the Heath toffee bits. Kraft caramel bits are also good.
