Ingredients

Shortbread crust

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Topping

  • 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup butterscotch chips
  • ¼ cup crushed toffee bits

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar and egg yolk
  • Stir in the vanilla, flour and salt. Batter will be very thick
  • Line a 9 x 13-inch metal pan with parchment paper, (recommended) and press the dough into the pan so that it covers the bottom
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until crust is light golden brown. It may puff up but will settle when cool
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle with chocolate chips, and return to oven for 1 minute or until chips start to melt
  • Remove from oven, use spatula to spread chocolate evenly over crust, and allow to cool slightly
  • Sprinkle butterscotch morsels and toffee bits over melted chocolate, and allow to cool completely before removing from pan ( lift the parchment paper up) and cutting into bars

Notes

Can grease the pan if not using parchment paper. If using glass baking dish, reduce heat to 325 degrees.
Tip -- Spray the baking pan with non stick spray before adding parchment paper to help the paper fit better in the pan.
If you can't find toffee bits, used crushed Heath bars for the topping or use crushed nuts.
