Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box 18 oz. yellow cake mix
1/3 c butter or margarine , softened
2 large eggs, divided, room temperature
1 can(s) 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract (madagascar is my preferred choice)
1 c chopped pecans
1/2 c toffee baking chips (or mini chocolate chips)

Steps:

  • 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 degrees F. Butter or spray with non stick cooking spray, a 9 X 13 X 2 inch baking dish, and set aside till needed.
  • 2. Combine the cake mix, butter or margarine with one egg in a medium size mixing bowl. Blend on high until the mixture is very crumbly. Then press it into prepared baking pan.
  • 3. In a separate bowl pour condensed milk, the other egg, & vanilla extract & beat until mixed together and then fold in chopped pecans & toffee chips or mini chips. Then pour over prepared crust, and spread it evenly on top.
  • 4. Bake in preheated 350 Degree F oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until lightly browned on top.The center will be a little giggly but will set when cooled. Please allow to cool completely before cutting.
  • 5. Please note: If you use the mini chocolate chips you will have more of a chocolate bar than caramel, because you aren't using the toffee bits. I used what I had, to avoid making a trip to the store, but they were still good.
