Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Finishing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the dessert later.
  2. Make the butter and sugar mixture: Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing until well combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes to prevent cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Combine with flour and bake the base: In a large bowl, gently stir the cooled butter-sugar mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined. Spread this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the base turns a lovely golden brown. After baking, let it cool for 10 minutes to set.
  4. Prepare chocolate-toffee topping: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a small bowl. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture is smooth and creamy, perfect for spreading.
  5. Make cinnamon-sugar sprinkle: Combine 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this evenly over the cooled base to add a sweet and spicy kick.
  6. Add topping and chill: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture over the cinnamon-sugar dusted base, spreading it evenly. For an extra touch of sweetness and presentation, sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top. Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let it set firmly.
  7. Serve: Using the edges of the parchment paper, lift the set dessert out of the baking dish. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy a delightful blend of cinnamon, toffee, and chocolate indulgence!

Notes

  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
  • For a crunchier texture, toast the toffee bits slightly before adding them to the chocolate mixture.
  • This dessert keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make sure to fully cool the base before adding the topping to prevent melting and mixing.
  • For easier cutting, chill the dessert overnight for a firmer set.
