Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining with parchment.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually sift in 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt until the dough is just combined and crumbly.
  4. Press the crumbly dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are lightly golden; remove from oven and let sit.
  6. While the base is warm, sprinkle 1 cup of toffee bits evenly over the top.
  7. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  8. Pour the melted chocolate over the shortbread and toffee layer, spreading it evenly.
  9. Allow to cool at room temperature for at least an hour or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
  10. Once cooled, cut into bars using a sharp knife.
