Description

These Cake Mix Toffee Bars are a delightful combination of chewy cake base, gooey chocolate, and crunchy toffee bits. The buttery cake crust creates a delicious foundation, while the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate layer melt together for an ultra-rich, fudgy center. Each bite is enhanced by the nutty crunch of toffee, making these bars both indulgent and satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  • Prepare the Dough Base: In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, melted butter, and egg until a dough forms. Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
  • Add Toffee Layer: Evenly sprinkle the toffee bits over the dough layer.
  • Make the Chocolate Layer: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and vanilla extract. Stir continuously until melted and smooth. Pour this mixture over the toffee bits.
  • Top with Remaining Dough: Crumble the remaining dough over the chocolate layer, creating an even topping.
  • Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. Enjoy these rich, chocolatey, and chewy bars!

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix the Dough: Just mix the cake mix, butter, and egg until a dough forms. Overmixing can lead to a dense crust.
  • Low Heat for Chocolate: When melting the chocolate chips with sweetened condensed milk, keep the heat low and stir constantly to prevent burning.
  • Let Cool Completely: Cooling the bars fully helps the layers set, making them easier to slice and giving the best flavor.
