These chocolate chip toffee bars are so ooey, gooey and delicious. They are full of chocolate chips and toffee bits. A layer of sweetened condensed milk makes them extra gooey.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe!
The sweetened condensed milk in this recipe turns into caramel as it bakes and makes these bars pretty much irresistible! I only make these if I can going to have company or have to take a treat somewhere or else I would eat the whole pan myself.
They are easy to make in a 9 x 13 pan and they are rich and delicious and a total crowd pleaser.
Ingredients Needed
- Flour. I use all purpose unbleached flour
- Brown sugar
- Butter. I use chilled salted butter. If using unsalted butter add in 1/8 tsp more salt.
- Egg
- Chocolate chips. I prefer semi sweet but you can use dark or milk chocolate.
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Toffee bits. I used the kind covered in chocolate but they don’t have to be. If you are unable to find toffee bits you could crush up some Heath bars.
How to Make Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
- Stir together flour and brown sugar together in a large bowl.
- Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add egg into mixture and mix well.
- Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture.
- Press remaining mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Pour milk over hot crust and top with 1 1/2 cups toffee bits.
- In a bowl, stir together 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips and reserved crumb mixture.
- Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over top plus remaining chips.
- Bake 25-30 more minutes at 350 degrees F.
- Top bars with remaining toffee bits.
Fresh out of the oven they are warm, ooey and gooey. Let them cool and set up a bit if you’d like or just dig right in.
But don’t blame me if you find yourself consuming half the pan yourself. I gave you fair warning!

Excellent recipe! I had to make a substitution only because I needed a quick dessert and had no time to go to the grocery store. (I substituted chopped walnuts in place of the toffee bits) These came out great and I will definitely make this recipe again – next time using the toffee bits. My family raved over these. This recipe is going in my favorites. Thank you!
Leigh Anne Wilkes says
