Best Chocolate Caramel Toffee Bars Recipes

CHEESECAKE CARAMEL TOFFEE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prep a 9 x 13 pan by lining it with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Cream together the butter, sugars, salt and vanilla. Beat in the egg, then the baking soda and flour.
• Stir in the chocolate chips, caramel bits and toffee pieces.
• Divide mixture in half. Spread half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan. I use my fingers to do this. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and white sugar until fully blended. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Mix until completely smooth.
• Pour and spread cheesecake layer over the pressed cookie dough layer.
• Using your hands, press pieces of the remaining dough into flat discs. Lay on top of the cheesecake layer. You don't have to have the entire cheesecake layer totally covered. In fact, leaving a bit of the cheesecake layer peeking through in spots looks good once the bars bake and cool.
• Bake for 20 - 30 minutes or until the bars are cooked through and top is lightly brown.
• Allow to cool completely before removing from pan by way of the parchment paper.
• Once cooled and removed from pan, cut into twelve equal bars.
• Store in refrigerator.
• NOTE: If you use the caramel bits in this recipe, allow the bars to come almost to room temperature (after refrigerating) prior to serving. The caramel bits harden up a bit in the fridge.

SKOR TOFFEE, CARAMEL AND CHOCOLATE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a heavy 9 X 13 baking pan with parchment paper. Leave extra at ends to lift out squares when baked. BASE: Pulse sugar, flour and salt in food processor. Add 3/4 cup cold butter and pulse until butter is in small bits but not completely blended - as you would with pastry. Press into prepared pan. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes, or until evenly golden. Cool pan on wire rack while preparing filling. FILLING: Melt 1/4 cup butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add condensed milk and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened, turning golden and starting to have a drier texture (like homemade glue or sticky oatmeal). Spread over baked base. Return pan to oven and bake 8 to 10 minutes longer, or until evenly golden and starting to bubble. TOPPING: Melt milk chocolate over double boiler or in microwave. With knife or spatula and a light touch (to avoid mixing the layers), spread chocolate evenly over filling. Immediately sprinkle Skor bits evenly on top of chocolate layer, while it's still hot, pressing gently but firmly into chocolate. Cool completely before removing from pan. To remove from pan, loosen edges with knife or spatula, and lift out by ends of paper. Cut with sharp knife on board. Makes about 32 bars. Store at room temperature. They freeze beautifully.
