Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

I found this delicious recipe at The Sisters' Cafe. I made it for our family reunion and everyone devoured them. I really like that the recipe is easy to make. I even made one batch with low fat sweetened condensed milk instead of regular sweetened condensed milk and couldn't tell the difference. These bars are simply divine... but very rich! So make sure you have someone to share them with when you make them. The bars are gooey until completely cooled, but then hold together very well when cut. You can even cut them into fun shapes with cookie cutters.

Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars
Submitted by Kelly Marsden

2 1/3 c. flour
2/3 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts - I used pecans, but walnuts or macadamias would be great, too.
14 oz. sweetened condensed milk
10 oz. Skor toffee bits

Stir together flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and mix well. Stir in 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips and all of nuts. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture and press remaining into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Pour milk over hot crust and top with 1 1/2 cups toffee bits. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top plus remaining chips. Bake 25-30 more minutes. Top with remaining toffee bits.
