Description

🍫 These quick and easy cake mix toffee bars offer a deliciously sweet treat with a rich, gooey texture.
🍪 Made with simple ingredients and minimal prep, they’re perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth anytime.


Ingredients

Scale

1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
1 cup (about 140g) toffee bits
1/2 to 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (optional)
1 can (14 oz / 396g) sweetened condensed milk
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and egg; mix until thick batter or crumbly mixture forms.
3. Press about two-thirds of the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
4. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.
5. Sprinkle toffee bits and optional chocolate chips evenly over the condensed milk.
6. Crumble remaining batter evenly on top.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bars are golden brown around edges and set; center may be slightly gooey.
8. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.

Notes

⏰ Avoid overbaking to maintain chewy texture; slightly underbaking yields a softer, crumblier bar.
🌰 Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for enhanced texture and flavor.
❄️ Bars store well in airtight containers at room temperature or refrigerated and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
