Dry Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Toppings
- 2 (8-ounce) bags chocolate toffee bits
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir together until a soft dough forms that can be pressed into the baking dish.
- Press Dough: Evenly press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a firm base layer.
- Add Toffee Bits: Sprinkle the chocolate toffee bits evenly over the dough base layer ensuring good coverage for every bite.
- Pour Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the toffee bits and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges turn a golden brown color, indicating the bars are cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate: For best results and firmer texture, refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or overnight before cutting.
- Serve: Cut the cooled bars into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife for clean edges and serve.
Notes
- Refrigerate overnight for a firmer texture and cleaner cuts.
- For easier cutting, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water between slices.
- Customize these bars with additional toppings like chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra flavor.
