- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough crust.
- Bake the base layer until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- For the topping, use a combination of chocolate chips, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and toffee bits.
- Spread the topping evenly over the cooled base layer and press it down gently.
