A stack of three square layered pastries sits on a white marbled surface, each layer made of golden-brown, flaky pastry with a crispy texture, dusted lightly with powdered sugar. Between the pastry layers are thick, creamy white filling layers visible on all three levels, slightly oozing out at the edges.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, divided
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup toffee bits
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: Melt 1/2 cup of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
Step 3: In a large bowl, combine the cooled butter mixture with the flour. Stir gently until just combined. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of butter in a small bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon with the powdered sugar. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cooled base.
Step 6: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture over the cinnamon-sugar-coated base and spread evenly. Sprinkle a little more powdered sugar on top. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Step 7: Lift the dessert out of the baking dish using the parchment paper and cut into squares to serve.

Tips & Variations

For an extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the chocolate-toffee layer before refrigerating.

Storage

Store churro toffee squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly. You can also freeze the cut squares in a sealed container for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

Yes, but reduce or omit the added salt in the recipe to avoid the dessert becoming too salty.

Is it necessary to refrigerate the dessert?

Refrigeration helps the chocolate and toffee layer set firmly, making it easier to cut and enjoy. You can serve it slightly chilled or at room temperature once set.
