Description

Churro Toffee Delight is a decadent layered dessert featuring a buttery cinnamon-sugar base topped with a luscious chocolate-toffee glaze.

Perfect for parties or a sweet indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 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

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Finishing

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal later.
  2. Make the butter sugar mixture: Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes to avoid cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Combine with flour and bake base: In a large bowl, mix the cooled butter-sugar mixture with 1 cup all-purpose flour. Stir gently until just combined to form the batter. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the chocolate-toffee topping: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a small bowl. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully incorporated.
  5. Make cinnamon sugar and coat base: Combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cooled baked base to mimic churro flavors.
  6. Apply chocolate-toffee topping and chill: Pour the warm chocolate-toffee mixture over the cinnamon-sugar coated base and spread evenly. For an extra sweet finish, sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top. Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set firmly.
  7. Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the dessert out of the baking dish. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh cinnamon for maximum flavor.
  • Make sure the butter mixture cools slightly before adding flour to prevent a cooked flour taste.
  • If toffee bits are not available, crushed Heath bars can be a good substitute.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Allow the dessert to come to room temperature before serving if you prefer a softer texture.
