🛒 Ingredients
- 🧈 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 🍬 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🍦 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 🌾 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 🧂 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 🧂 1/2 tsp salt
- 🍫 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 🍬 3/4 cup toffee bits (like Heath or Skor)
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 175°C (350°F). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter 🧈 and brown sugar 🍬 until smooth. Add eggs 🥚 and vanilla 🍦, and mix until combined.
3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients:
Stir in flour 🌾, baking soda 🧂, and salt until just combined — do not overmix.
4️⃣ Fold in the Good Stuff:
Gently fold in the butterscotch chips 🍫 and toffee bits 🍬 until evenly distributed.
5️⃣ Bake:
Spread batter evenly into the prepared dish. Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until the top is golden and set (do not overbake — they firm up as they cool).
6️⃣ Cool & Cut:
Let cool completely before slicing into bars. Store in an airtight container or serve warm with ice cream for a treat! 🍨
