Description

Delicious and easy to make Cake Mix Toffee Bars featuring a buttery yellow cake base loaded with crunchy toffee bits, and optional chocolate chips and nuts for extra indulgence. This quick recipe is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal prep and baking time.


Ingredients

Scale

Basic Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Add-ins

  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, two large eggs, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Stir well until the mixture forms a thick dough.
  3. Add Toffee and Optional Ingredients: Gently fold the toffee bits into the dough. If you like, add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts and mix until evenly distributed.
  4. Press into Pan: Evenly press the dough into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for an even layer.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy your sweet, chewy toffee bars!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Optional chocolate chips and nuts add texture and extra flavor, but can be omitted for simpler bars.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Excellent as a dessert or sweet snack to accompany coffee or tea.
