all-purpose flour
baking soda
salt
unsalted butter, softened
granulated sugar
brown sugar
large eggs
vanilla extract
semi-sweet chocolate chips
sweetened condensed milk
toffee bits (like Heath Bits O’ Brickle)

directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.

Fold in half of the chocolate chips and half of the toffee bits.

Press about two-thirds of the cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and remaining chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Spread the fudge layer evenly over the cookie dough base.

Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining cookie dough on top of the fudge layer and gently spread it out.

Sprinkle the remaining toffee bits over the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
