I originally intended to make Toffee Chip Cookies à la my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe CCC 2, but I wanted something quicker than chilling dough and rolling it into balls. So I turned to my tried and true recipe for blondies and made some alterations for a denser texture and more toffee-like flavor.

The end result is a delicious contrast between soft and chewy with that buttery, caramelized toffee crunch. I’m beginning to think toffee is a lot like bacon–desserts just taste better with it!

Toffee blondie bars topped with a layer or chocolate and more toffee!

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar (I used dark)
2 eggs
1 cup flour (I used half white, half whole wheat)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup toffee chips, plus more for topping (I used Heath Bits ‘O Brickle)
1/2 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line then grease an 8×8 baking pan with parchment or foil for easy removal.

In a saucepan melt the butter and remove from heat. Beat in sugar until well combined, then the eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt just until combined and gently mix in toffee chips. Bake for about 20 minutes or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean.

Immediately top with chocolate chips and let sit a few minutes to melt (or pop it back in the oven for a minute). Spread and smooth the melted chocolate, sprinkle with additional toffee chips and let set until hardened before cutting.
