Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Topping

  • 2 (8-ounce) bags chocolate toffee bits
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF: Begin by setting your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the cake mix, butter, and egg: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir thoroughly until a soft dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Press the dough into the baking dish: Using your hands or the back of a spoon, firmly press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a uniform base layer.
  4. Add the toffee bits: Sprinkle the chocolate toffee bits evenly over the cake mix dough layer, making sure to cover the entire surface.
  5. Pour the sweetened condensed milk: Carefully drizzle the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the toffee bits, spreading it gently for a smooth and consistent top layer.
  6. Bake the bars: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center is set but still slightly soft.
  7. Cool completely: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. For best results, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to ensure they hold their shape and develop the best texture.
  8. Cut into squares: Using a sharp knife, cut the cooled bars into squares or rectangles of your desired size. For cleaner cuts, dip the knife in warm water and wipe between slices.

Notes

  • Refrigerate the bars overnight for a firmer texture and easier, cleaner cutting.
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to make neat and smooth cuts.
  • Customize by adding toppings such as chopped nuts, a caramel drizzle, or a sprinkle of sea salt for enhanced flavor.
  • Ensure even layering of cake mix and toffee bits to avoid uneven bites.
  • Do not cut bars while warm to prevent them from falling apart.
