Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 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

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the dessert after baking.
  2. Make the base mixture: Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined. Remove the mixture from heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes to prevent cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Combine the base with flour and bake: Transfer the cooled butter and sugar mixture to a large bowl and gently stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined to form the batter. Pour and spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the base is golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the chocolate-toffee topping: In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. To this melted butter, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  5. Make the cinnamon-sugar sprinkle: Mix together 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a separate small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar blend evenly over the cooled baked base to replicate the churro’s classic coating.
  6. Assemble the dessert: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar coated base layer, spreading it smoothly. Optionally, sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness and a nice finish.
  7. Chill and serve: Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 1 hour to set the topping firmly. Use the parchment paper to lift the entire dessert out of the pan, then cut into squares to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter and sugar mixture is cooled before adding the flour to avoid a tough base.
  • The dessert should be refrigerated to help the chocolate-toffee topping set properly.
  • Use parchment paper to make removing the bars from the baking dish easier.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a nut-free version, ensure toffee bits do not contain nuts, or substitute with additional chocolate chips.
