Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

  • 2 (8-ounce) bags chocolate toffee bits
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Press Dough: Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer that will serve as the base of the bars.
  4. Add Topping: Sprinkle the chocolate toffee bits evenly over the dough, covering the surface to ensure a sweet, crunchy topping.
  5. Pour Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the chocolate toffee bits, making sure to cover them completely for a rich, creamy finish.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the condensed milk has set slightly.
  7. Cool and Chill: Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to let them firm up and enhance the flavors.
  8. Serve: Once chilled, cut the bars into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife, ideally dipped in warm water for cleaner slices, and serve.

Notes

  • Refrigerate the bars overnight for a firmer texture and cleaner, neater cuts.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water for easier, smoother slicing.
  • Customize your bars by adding toppings such as chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor and texture.
