Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup toffee bits (such as Heath Bits)

Preparation Method

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the dough, ensuring complete coverage. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits over the condensed milk, spreading them out evenly.

Take the remaining one-third of the dough and crumble it over the top of the filling. The crumble layer will leave some spots exposed, allowing the chocolate and toffee to peek through. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the dish. Once cooled, slice them into bars using a sharp knife. Serve at room temperature or slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent dessert.

Tips and Conclusion

For an added crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the filling before baking.

Lining the baking dish with parchment paper ensures easy removal and makes cutting the bars cleaner and more precise.

Experiment with different chips, such as white chocolate or butterscotch, for a fun twist on this classic recipe.
