Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or almonds)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand or stand mixer.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the cookie base.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot crust. Let them sit for 5 minutes to allow the heat to melt them.

Step 8

Using an offset spatula, spread the softened chocolate over the crust to create a smooth layer.

Step 9

If using nuts, sprinkle the chopped nuts evenly over the melted chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.

Step 10

Allow the toffee bars to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer the pan to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to fully set the chocolate.

Step 11

Once set, slice into bars or squares of your desired size. Serve and enjoy!
