Chocolate Toffee Bars

I came up with these little yummy treats the other day when I was making supper and just wanted a quick yummy dessert.

These thin little bars are just perfect: chocolate, toffee, and a sweet shortbread bottom. Plus, there are only 4 ingredients, and it only takes 15 minutes to bake. Does it get better than that?

This recipe ONLY uses basic pantry staples and no expensive ingredients like toffee bits, sweetened condensed milk, etc.

Ingredients in Chocolate Toffee Bars

• Butter. You use butter in both the crust and the toffee topping. You can use salted or unsalted.
• Flour. You just need plain all-purpose flour for this recipe. You can also use all-purpose gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
• Brown sugar. This is also used both in the shortbread crust and in the toffee topping. You can use dark or light brown sugar, just use what you have on hand.
• Chocolate chips. I usually use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe.

Step By Step Instructions for Making Chocolate Toffee Bars

In a saucepan, melt together 1/3 cup of butter and 1/3 cup of brown sugar.

Let it boil together for about a minute after it has melted.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and remaining butter and brown sugar. It helps if you melt the butter.

Press the flour mixture into the pan. You don’t need to grease the pan.

Pour the toffee mixture on top. Bake in the oven at 325F for 15 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and add a handful of chocolate chips to the top over the hot crust. I add about 1/2 cup. You can add more or less depending on your tastes.

Give the chocolate chips a minute or 2 to melt, and then spread them over the bars. Enjoy!

Variations to the Chocolate Toffee Bars
