Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 box of cake mix vanilla, yellow, or butter flavor works best
1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup toffee bits or chopped toffee like Heath Bars
Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips nuts, or dried fruit for extra texture

Equipment

9x13-inch baking pan
Mixing bowl
Electric mixer (optional)
Spoon or spatula
Measuring cups and spoons
Parchment paper (optional, for easy removal)

Method

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, softened butter, and eggs. Mix well until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
Fold in the toffee bits (and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts).
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

Storage: Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 1 month.
Customization: Feel free to experiment with different add-ins like white chocolate chips, peanut butter, or caramel for a unique twist on the recipe.
Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, mix until just combined to prevent the bars from becoming too dense.
