Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13 × 9 × 2-inch baking pan.
- Stir together the flour and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the egg and mix well. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips and the nuts. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture. Press the remaining mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the hot crust. Top with 1 1/2 cups toffee bits. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture and the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits over the bars. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then cut into bars.
