Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

2 1/2 c. flour

2/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar

3/4 c. butter, softened

1 large egg, slightly beaten

2 c. (12 oz pkg) semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c. coarsly chopped nuts (I used walnuts)

1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

1 (8oz) pkg toffee baking bits, divided

Heat oven to 350. Coat a 9x13 glass baking dish with cooking spray. Stir together flour and brown sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg, mixing well. Stir in 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips and the nuts. Reserve 1 1/2 of this crumb mixture. Press the remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Bake 10 minutes. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over partially baked crust. Reserve 1/4 c. toffee bits. Sprinkle the remaining bits over the layer of condensed milk. Sprinkle reserved crumb mixture and remaining 1/2 c. chocolate chips over the top.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with reserved 1/4 of toffee bits. Cool completely. Cut into bars.

This recipe comes from the Eagle Brand website (I was looking for a recipe to use up a can of condensed milk).
