Gooey Chocolate Toffee Bars

Most of January I tried to be good.  I only gave you one dessert all month, and that was my birthday cake.  So I think it is about time I shared a sinful chocolate treat.  Just in time for the February #ChocolateParty too! This month the secret ingredient for the #chocolateparty was….chocolate!  That is correct, everyone participating made a “double chocolate” treat.  Pretty heavenly, right?

These start with a traditional chocolate chip cookie base.  Then they are topped with a layer of melted chocolate ganache.  Followed by crushed Heath toffee candy, and then topped with more chocolate chip cookie.  Heath and toffee is one of my favorite combinations, and with the cookie, it was just perfect.

Gooey Chocolate Toffee Bars

A warm chocolate chip cookie is one of my all time favorite desserts.  So these bars warm out of the oven….sigh.  I am drooling just thinking about them!  Thick, gooey, chocolately; everything I like in a dessert. You know the only thing that would make these better?  Top them with ice cream and hot fudge!  Not sure why didn’t I think of that a couple of weeks ago when I made these.  But trust me, try it!

Gooey chocolate chip cookie bars with a layer of chocolate ganache and Heath candy.
Course: Dessert
Servings: 12
Calories: 319 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 batch chocolate chip cookie dough (recipe here) or store bought
  • 7 oz (1/2 can) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 bag milk chocolate chips
  • 14 fun size Heath bars , crushed
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line an 8x8 baking dish with foil, and spray with non-stick spray.
  3. Press about 1 1/2 cups of dough into the bottom of the pan. It should be 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth.
  5. Spread melted chocolate over the cookie dough.
  6. Sprinkle crushed Heath bars over melted chocolate.
  7. Break small pieces of dough, and sprinkle over the chocolate. Use about 1 cup of dough. You will still see some chocolate peaking through, but it should mainly cover it.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should be set, and golden.
  9. Remove from oven, and let cool before serving.
Recipe Notes

If using homemade dough, you will have some leftover. Scoop golf ball sized balls of dough onto a cookie sheet. Freeze for 1 hour. Remove balls of dough and place in a freezer safe bag. Now you can bake fresh cookies whenever you want! Adapted from Buns In My Oven

  3. You went an entire month eating only ONE dessert? You deserve a party just for that, I could never last that long. I can barely go a single day without at least one cookie. This is why I must workout 7 days a week haha.

  6. You’re a genius with the layering, Erin. These look so incredibly soft and gooey on the inside. Nothing’s better than a fresh chocolate chip cookie out of the oven, when the edges are crisp and the innards molten. Yum!

  12. Whoa. Those are GOOEY. Like… whoa. I’m torn. I want to make these, but if I do, I’ll just put myself into a sugar coma.

    And yay! Finally a recipe with candy that I can actually make. We don’t have Heath bars but we do have Daim (like Skor) and that’s close enough! I think I’ll send these with my husband to a get-together on Friday. He better not cancel because I really want to make these but there’s no way I’m making them without the possibility to get rid of them immediately. 🙂

    And what lovely pictures! Yum. And one dessert in all of January is crazy. I’m happy you’re back with sweets! (but good for you for resisting :))

  25. Okay Erin – this bar is a true winner! I just got off the treadmill and SOOOOO wish I had one of these in front of me right now. I know – here I burn calories and then would eat them, but I guess since it is virtual calories at this point – no harm, no foul. Smile! Pinning now.!

  36. When I melted the chocolate and condensed milk it turned into a sticky caramel, not pourable by any means. Is it supposed to be like that?

    • No, that did not happen to me. Chocolate can seize up if you heat it too quickly. How did you heat it? You can do it over a double boiler, or in the microwave. I put both the milk and the chocolate in a bowl, and microwaved at 50% power at 45 seconds intervals, stirring eat time, until it was all melted together.
