Ingredients
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan to ensure the bars come out easily.
Step 2: Create the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 3: Press the Dough
Take two-thirds of the dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 4: Add the Toffee Layer
Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the dough layer.
Step 5: Make the Chocolate Mixture
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract together. Stir continuously until smooth.
Step 6: Pour the Chocolate Mixture
Evenly pour the melted chocolate mixture over the toffee bits.
Step 7: Crumble the Remaining Dough
Crumble the remaining dough over the chocolate layer for a textured top.
Step 8: Bake and Cool
Bake the dessert bars for 25-30 minutes or until the top turns golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before slicing into squares.
