Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup mixed nuts (such as pecans, almonds, and walnuts), chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and sea salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form a smooth, compact layer. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to flatten the surface.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes, but leave the oven on.

Step 7

While the crust is cooling slightly, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Return the pan to the oven for 2 minutes to soften the chocolate.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and use a spatula to gently spread the melted chocolate into an even layer across the crust.

Step 9

Immediately sprinkle the chopped mixed nuts over the melted chocolate, pressing them down lightly to adhere.

Step 10

Let the bars cool completely at room temperature for about 1 hour or until the chocolate has set. For faster cooling, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 11

Once fully set, use the parchment paper to lift the toffee bar slab out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 24 squares or rectangles.

Step 12

Store Chocolate Nut Toffee Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
