Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup toffee bits
• 0.5 cup optional chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Use your hands or the bottom of a flat cup to ensure it's evenly distributed.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is lightly golden and set. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the baked crust, spreading it gently with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top, followed by the toffee bits and optional chopped nuts if using.

Step 9

Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the condensed milk is bubbling and the toppings are melted and set.

Step 10

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan to set, approximately 1 hour. For faster cooling, place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Once cooled, cut into 12 bars or smaller pieces, depending on your preference. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
