Toffee Bars With A Twist

Traditional Toffee Bars are made with a brown sugar shortbread base with a soft layer of toffee and dark chocolate topping. 

I’ve always loved Toffee Bars, but make mine with salted toffee to cut down on the sweetness.  The end result is absolutely fantastic!

The Perfect Middle Layer

Did you know that cooking condensed milk with a little butter results in a soft, delicious caramel-like toffee?  If you’ve never tried it, you need to try this recipe!

I’ve seen a lot of recipes that use butterscotch chips to make the toffee, but the end result that tastes really artificial.  This toffee is buttery, indulgent with just the right amount of sweetness! 

Step by Step Instructions

To make the base, start with beating the butter, superfine sugar, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.

Using a wooden spoon, mix in the flour. The dough may be crumbly, but as long as it presses together and holds its shape, it’s ready to go in the pan.

While the base baked, I started on the toffee which is made from sweetened condensed milk, butter, vanilla, and salt.

Spread over the baked base.

Bake until golden brown.  Scatter the chocolate chips over the warm toffee.

Let stand 2 or 3 minutes to melt and then spread evenly across the top.

Leave to set before slicing into bars.

Serve and enjoy!
