Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ½ cup (113 grams) melted butter
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup (170 grams) toffee bits
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease to prevent sticking.
- Dough Formation: Blend cake mix, melted butter, and egg in a large bowl until a dense, cohesive dough emerges. Infuse with vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
- Base Layer: Spread the batter evenly across the prepared pan, ensuring a smooth, uniform surface using a spatula or fingertips.
- Topping Application: Distribute chocolate chips and toffee bits generously over the batter, gently pressing to secure their placement during baking.
- Baking Process: Bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and a clean toothpick test from the center. Aim for a perfectly chewy consistency without overdrying.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow bars to rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- Serving Preparation: Slice into desired square or rectangular portions, creating a tempting dessert ready to be savored.
Notes
Adjust Butter Consistency: Ensure melted butter is slightly cooled before mixing to prevent potential egg scrambling and maintain proper dough texture.
Prevent Sticking Technique: Use parchment paper overhang for easier bar removal and clean cutting, creating perfect square edges without crumbling.
Customize Chocolate Variations: Experiment with different chocolate chip types like dark, milk, or white chocolate to personalize flavor profile and match individual preferences.
Baking Precision Matters: Check doneness early and remove bars when edges are golden but center remains slightly soft, guaranteeing a chewy, moist texture without becoming dry or crisp.
