Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 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 Touch

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal of the dessert 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 fully combined. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes to prevent cooking the flour too much in the next step.
  3. Combine Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the cooled butter mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour gently until just incorporated to form the batter. Spread this batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake the Base Layer: Bake the batter in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the base turns golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to set slightly.
  5. 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 and creamy, ensuring the chocolate melts completely.
  6. Make Cinnamon Sugar Dusting: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, mixing well for an even sprinkle.
  7. Assemble the Layers: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the cooled base. Pour the warm chocolate-toffee mixture over this cinnamon sugar layer and spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  8. Final Touch and Chill: Lightly sprinkle additional powdered sugar over the chocolate topping for a festive look. Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up and set.
  9. Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the dessert out of the baking dish and cut it into squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious, cinnamon-spiced treat.

Notes

  • For easier cutting, chill the dessert well before slicing.
  • Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Toffee bits provide a satisfying crunch; substitute with crushed toffee bars if unavailable.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Allow the dessert to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
