Then press the crumbly mixture into the bottom and corners of the pan. Pressing down with the bottom of a measuring cup works well to get the mixture even and compressed.

Pop the crust into a preheated 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

For the Filling:

In a small saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, until combined.

I forgot to get a picture of this part. I was multi-tasking and making dinner at the same time, so I guess I’m lucky this is the only part I neglected. 🤪

Then, pour this hot mixture over the crust that is still warm from the oven.

Put it back in the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes until the filling is bubbly and has turned a golden brown. Remove from oven.

The Topping

Sprinkle the top of the hot filling with the milk chocolate chips.

Cool Completely

Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. I cut these bars in half again after I took this picture, because they are very rich, and one small piece goes a long way! 😍

Look how you can see the 4 distinct layers in these bars: shortbread on the bottom, followed by the caramelly filling, then a layer of milk chocolate, and finally a layer of crunchy toffee on top. Yes, please.

    1. Yes! I made them early at Christmas, froze them, and took them to a Christmas gathering about a week later. The quality and taste were just like if I had baked them the same day. 🙂
