Ingredients:

• 1 box yellow cake mix (about 18.25 oz)
• 1 egg
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 (8 oz) bags of chocolate-covered toffee bits (like Heath Bar bits)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. Prepare the Base:
   • In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, egg, and melted butter. Stir until a thick dough forms.
   • Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, forming the base layer.
3. Add the Toffee and Condensed Milk:
   • Sprinkle the chocolate-covered toffee bits evenly over the cake mix base.
   • Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the toffee bits.
4. Optional Toppings:
   • If you’re using chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the top of the condensed milk layer.
   • For added flavor, you can also drizzle vanilla extract over the top.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
   • Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
6. Serve:
