Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor, approx. 15.25 oz)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Add Toffee and Chocolate: Fold in the toffee bits and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Spread Batter in Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- You can customize the cake mix flavor (chocolate, yellow, or spice) based on your preference.
- For softer bars, slightly reduce the bake time; for firmer bars, bake the full 25 minutes.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking enhances the toffee and chocolate flavor.
- Ensure the toffee bits are fresh to maintain their crunchiness.
