Shortbread Toffee Bars With Chocolate
Shortbread Toffee Bars have a buttery shortbread crust covered layered with sweetened condensed milk and milk chocolate then covered with toffee bits and pecans. An easy dessert bar with a rich toffee flavor. You'll need a glass of milk!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter (room temp)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups flour
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup toffee pieces
- ½ cup salted pecans (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350º and line a 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Beat ¾ cup of butter and brown sugar until combined, add flour and mix. It should look like cookie dough. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden brown.
- Combine condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter in microwave safe bowl and microwave until the butter is just melted, about 1-2 minutes. Pour over shortbread and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until it is bubbly and starting to turn brown.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Return to the oven for 2 minutes. Remove and using an off-set spatula, spread the chocolate chips evenly over the top. Sprinkle with toffee bits and chopped pecans and lightly press them into the chocolate mixture. Let cool completely. Refrigerate before cutting.
Barbara's Notes + Tips
- These will be easier to cut if you refrigerate them after they have cooled completely.
- You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips if you prefer.
- The nuts are optional but add a nice salty contrast to the sweet.
