Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare Pan

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

• Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Make the Crust

1. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter, and egg.

2. Mix until a thick dough forms.

3. Press ⅔ of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Step 3: Add the Filling

1. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust.

2. Sprinkle chocolate chips, toffee bits, and nuts (if using) on top.

3. Crumble the remaining dough over the filling (it won’t fully cover it, which is fine).

Step 4: Bake

• Bake for 23-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Step 5: Cool & Slice

• Let the bars cool completely (about 1 hour) before slicing into squares.
