Fudge and Toffee Filled Chocolate Chip Bars

Ingredients

Adapted from That Skinny Chick Can Bake via Buns in My Oven
Cookie dough:
• 1 stick (4 ounces) butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Fudge layer:
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 bag (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips
• 15 (4 ounces) fun size Heath bars, cut into chunks (I used 4 ounces of Heath pre-crushed bits)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350º.
2. Line an 8×8 baking dish with non stick foil.
3. Make cookie dough by creaming butter and sugar, then mixing in egg. Mix in flour, salt and baking soda, then chocolate chips.
4. Press about 2/3 of dough into the bottom of the pan. Use offset spatula to evenly cover bottom of pan with dough.
5. Melt chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth.
6. Spread melted chocolate over the cookie dough.
7. Sprinkle Heath bar chunks over melted chocolate.
8. Take spoonfuls of remaining dough and drop over chocolate layer. Carefully spread out lumps of dough with spatula. It will not totally cover chocolate.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until set & golden.
10. Remove from oven and cool.  Chill before cutting.  
11. Yield: 16 bars
