Craving Chocolate and Toffee than this recipe is for you!

Need the sweet taste of caramel and a little hit of chocolate...then whip up a batch of these great Skor Toffee Chocoalte Bars. Found this recipe in a Robin Hood holiday booklet and every time it's made I always get requests for the recipe. Straight forward and simple these bars are a hit for any occasion.

I prefer the semi-sweet chocolate in these or even the dark. As well you could use the lighter version of condensed milk but really what's the point with all the calories in these anyway, what's another 50 or so!!

Skor Toffee Chocolate Bars

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp. butter
1 (300g) package milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (225g) package Skor Toffee Bits

Preheat oven to 350F

Cream first 3 ingredients until well blended and mixture comes together. Press evenly into 13x9-inch cake pan and bade for about 20-25 minutes until light brown.

Cool while you prepare the filling.

Heat the condensed milk and 2 tbsp. butter in heavy saucepan stirring constantly over medium heat for about 5-10 minutes or until mixture thickens. Spread this yummy concotion over the base and bake for another 12-15 minutes until golden.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Now bake for another 2 minutes and remove from oven. Then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top and next sprinkle the Skor bits over this. Press Skor bits down lightly into chocolate.

Cool completely before cutting into bars. If necessary and the call to Skor Bars is too strong refrig to speed up the cooling process.

These cut best at room temperature. For perfect looking bars trim off the edges andf eat yourself before cutting into squares!!
