Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

I found this yummy, chocolate treat a couple of weeks ago when I was searching for something new to make for a dessert social I was catering for work. I needed something chocolate for the menu and I thought this recipe sounded perfect. I received rave reviews, so this one is definitely a keeper!

Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

recipe from Yourhomebasedmom.com

2 1/3 c flour

2/3 c brown sugar

1/4 c butter

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 (12 oz) pkg. chocolate chips

1 c chopped nuts (I left them out)

14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk

10 oz. toffee bits ( I used Heath brand)

Stir together flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Add egg and mix well. Stir in 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and all of the nuts if you are using them. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture and press remaining into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Pour sweetened condensed milk over hot crust and top with 1 cup of toffee bits. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top plus remaining chocolate chips. Bake 25-30 more minutes. Top with remaining toffee bits. Let cool and cut into bars.

Enjoy!
