Description

These Chocolate Toffee Bars combine a tender, brown sugar-spiced crust with a dense, fudgy chocolate center. The generous amount of packed brown sugar lends a deep toffee flavor and a moist, chewy texture. Topped with a simple homemade chocolate glaze, these bars offer a perfect balance of sweetness and richness. They are incredibly easy to whip up in the microwave, requiring minimal prep time and no fancy equipment.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the packed brown sugar, softened butter, flour, and baking powder. Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8x2-inch microwave-safe dish.
  3. Microwave the crust on 50% power for 4 to 6 minutes, or until it looks almost dry.
  4. Let the crust stand uncovered for 5 minutes to cool slightly.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, packed brown sugar, flour, baking powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  6. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  7. Spread this chocolate mixture evenly over the cooked crust layer.
  8. Microwave the assembled bars on 50% power for 7 to 10 minutes. Watch closely; the top will start to lose its glossiness when done. Do not overcook.
  9. Cover the dish loosely and let it stand for 5 minutes.
  10. Uncover and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
  11. While the bars cool, make the glaze: Microwave 1 tablespoon cocoa, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon water in a small measure on full power for 20 to 30 seconds.
  12. Stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
  13. Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the cooled bars.
  14. Refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes to set the glaze and firm up the texture.
  15. Cut into 2" x 1 1/4" bars and serve. Store any remaining bars in the refrigerator.
