Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups toffee bits (e.g., Heath Bits O' Brickle)
• 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 5

Stir in 1 cup of toffee bits, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.

Step 6

Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing out the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Let them sit for 5 minutes to soften, then use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of toffee bits over the melted chocolate layer.

Step 10

Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for 1-2 hours to set the chocolate layer.

Step 11

Cut into 24 bars and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
