Chocolate Chip Toffee Bar recipe....just for YOU!!

Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars 

2 1/2 cups flour

2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3/4 cup butter

1 large egg, slightly beaten

2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

1 cup coarsely chopped nuts

1 (14 oz.) can  Sweetened Condensed Milk (I used Eagle Brand)

1 (8 oz.) package toffee baking bits, divided

HEAT oven to 350°F. Coat a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.

STIR together flour and brown sugar in large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg, mixing well. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and nuts. Reserve 1 1/2 cups mixture. Press remaining crumb mixture onto bottom of prepared pan.

BAKE 10 minutes. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over partially baked crust. Reserve 1/4 cup toffee bits. Sprinkle remaining toffee bits over layer in pan. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture and remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips over top.

BAKE 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with reserved 1/4 cup toffee bits. Cool completely. Cut into bars.  

I tried to take out the calories but the little suckers just would not budge! You will just have to eat one small bar. HA! Enjoy.....please leave me a comment so I know you stopped by...I would love to return the visit.

Thanks for stopping over for a visit and don't forget to say HI so I can return the visit.
