Recipe
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (177C).
- First, prepare the toffee. In a saucepan bring butter, brown sugar, and salt up to medium heat. Let the mixture go for about 10 minutes whisking continuously (to avoid scorching) until it reaches 300F (150C).
- Immediately pour toffee mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper in an even layer then allow it to set. The toffee will harden as it cools.
- Once the toffee has completely cooled, break it into pieces and set aside.
- Now, for the batter. In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine (cooled) melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Add in flour, salt, and sugar then mix until just combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips and toffee pieces. Don’t forget to save some chocolate chips and toffee bits for topping later.
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper then pour in batter.
- Top with the remaining chocolate chips and toffee bits then stick it in the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the chocolate toffee bars to cool completely then cut into 9 squares and enjoy.
