Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Light brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 5 Hershey's milk chocolate bars (standard size, 1.55 oz)
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and light brown sugar. Cream them together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until well-incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Press the dough evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, ensuring it reaches all corners and is of even thickness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 7

While the base is baking, unwrap the Hershey's milk chocolate bars and break them into smaller pieces for easier melting.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and immediately place the Hershey's chocolate pieces on top of the hot cookie base. Allow the heat of the base to melt the chocolate for a few minutes, then use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the surface.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Let the toffee squares cool completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the cooling process.

Step 11

Once the chocolate has fully set, cut the dessert into squares or rectangles, depending on your preferred serving size. Enjoy!
