Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

These bars have a nice flavor with a little crunch from the toffee. The recipe is pretty straightforward. For a smaller amount, use half the ingredients in a 9x9" glass pan and bake for 22-25 minutes at the second step.

Ingredients:

- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup cold butter

- 1 egg

- 1 cup chopped or sliced almonds
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

- 1 1/2 cups toffee bits
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

- 1/4 cup toffee bits

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13" pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and butter with a pastry blender. Add egg; mix well. Stir in the almonds and 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips.

Set aside 1 1/2 cups for topping. Press remaining mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crust. Sprinkle evenly with 1 1/2 cups toffee bits, reserved topping, and remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Bake for 25-30 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits. Cool on a wire rack before cutting.
