Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3: Combine the cooled butter mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour in a large bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a small bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and toffee bits until smooth and creamy.
Step 5: Mix together 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture over the cooled base.
Step 6: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture over the cinnamon-sugar-coated base and spread evenly. Sprinkle more powdered sugar on top. Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 7: Lift the dessert out using the parchment paper and cut into squares to serve.

Tips & Variations

For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts such as pecans or almonds to the chocolate-toffee layer.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
To intensify the cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon on top after refrigerating before serving.

Storage

Store churro toffee delight in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best texture. You can also freeze the squares for up to 2 months; thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Yes, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate based on your preference.

Is it necessary to refrigerate the dessert?

Refrigerating helps the chocolate-toffee layer set firmly and makes it easier to cut neat squares, but it can be enjoyed at room temperature if preferred.
