Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 square baking dish with foil or parchment paper, grease and set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and brown sugar until smooth and combined. Add flour and salt and beat until combined (the mixture will be crumbly, but should hold together if you press it between two fingers).
- Dump the crust into the prepared pan and use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the crust into a flat even layer. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
- Immediately after removing the crust from the oven, sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup toffee bits. Combine the sweetened condensed milk and melted butter, then evenly pour it over the top of the toffee chips (I pour it in a zig-zag/back and forth motion so that there is even coverage).
- Return to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Wait 3-5 minutes for the chocolate chips to soften, then gently spread the softened chocolate chips using a small offset spatula. Be careful not to push down too hard with spatula, you only want to spread the chocolate, not the toffee layer underneath. Immediately top with 3/4 cup toffee bits, and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt (if desired).
- Allow the bars to continue to cool until they are room temperature. After cooling you can move them to the refrigerator briefly to firm up the chocolate (if necessary).

TOFFEE BARS (OR NUT BARS)
A wonderful, graham cracker based chocolate toffee bar that will delight your taste buds! I'm still trying to discover who brought these to our office Cookie Swap party! They were kind enough to share the recipe, so I'm sharing it as well. The version I had was with nuts, so I don't even know if there was any toffee in it!

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect toffee texture, cook the sugar mixture to the correct temperature. Use a candy thermometer to ensure it reaches 300°F (149°C).
- For a smooth and creamy toffee filling, stir the butter and sugar mixture constantly while cooking. This prevents the sugar from crystallizing and ensures a velvety texture.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to make the toffee. This helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents the mixture from burning.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper before pouring in the toffee mixture. This makes it easy to lift the toffee out of the pan once it has set.
- Allow the toffee to cool completely before cutting it into bars. This helps prevent the toffee from crumbling.
- Store the toffee bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
