Chewy Toffee Bars

If you’re a huge toffee lover like me, then these chewy toffee bars are for you. They are sweet, nutty, and buttery. The chocolate on top rounds up all the flavors together. I’ve tried other bars before but what makes this one stand out is the crust.

For the crust, I used a buttery toffee base complete with toffee bits. I made them thick so it becomes chewier and then on top is a thin caramel layer.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to put on top of the chocolate: more toffee bits, sprinkles, sea salt, etc. In the end, I chose to leave them as is for a nice flavor contrast. But you can certainly top them with anything you’d like.

Toffee, fudge, and cookies are my favorite Holiday desserts. Their flavors and soft textures just melt in my mouth. ‘Tis the season that my oven works overtime.

For these chewy Toffee Bars, I used Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All Purpose White Flour because it’s freshly milled from Organic hard red wheat. Both the bran and the germ have been removed leaving the endosperm that is made into white flour. Plus it’s free of additives and preservatives.

 

The vast majority of times, I love used all purpose flour for baking because it’s more versatile than any other type.

If you’re hosting a Holiday party or get-togethers, then consider taking a tray of these chewy rich and delicious toffee bars, I promise you that they will be the first to fly!

The crust in the dough can be frozen for up to 6 months, so you can make a double batch and freeze half of the dough for later use.

Ingredients

For Toffee Crust

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 oz Heath toffee bits or Skor
  • 1 cup + 2 Tablespoons of light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ( 1 stick) at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 large eggs

For Caramel Center

  • 1/4 cup Caramel Bits
  • 1/2 Cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

For Topping

  • 1 Cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

For Crust

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8x8" pan with aluminum foil and spray the foil with nonstick spray or butter
  • In a bowl, place the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined
  • In a mixer bowl place the butter and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed for 3-4 minutes or until the mixture becomes creamy and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula
  • With the mixer running, add the eggs one at a time and the vanilla
  • Slowly add the flour mixture. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula
  • Finally, add the toffee bits. Do not overmix
  • Place this entire mixture on the 8x8 pan. With a spatula press down until the dough is completely flat and covers the entire surface
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the top starts to set
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool a bit while you make the filling

For Filling:

  • In a saucepan over low heat, place the condensed milk, butter, and caramel bits
  • Stir until the caramel bits and the butter are completely melted. Mixture should look light brown
  • Pour the entire mixture on top of the crust and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the top is no longer shiny and a bit brown
  • Remove from oven and immediately add the chocolate chips on top
  • Let the chocolate chips untouched for about 30 seconds (the heat from the toffee will melt them)
  • With a spatula, spread the chocolate until the whole surface is covered
  • Let the toffee cool and place in the fridge for a couple of hours before unmolding and cutting into squares*

Notes

*I left my toffee to cool in the fridge overnight for easier cutting
