Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, melted unsalted butter, and large egg. Blend until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared 9×13-inch baking pan.
  3. Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle the toffee bits and semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the cake mix base. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over the top.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Keep an eye on the bars during the last few minutes to avoid overbaking.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different cake mix flavors, such as chocolate or spice cake, or swap the toffee bits for chopped nuts or shredded coconut for a unique twist. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
