 There’s nothing I love to do more on the weekends than bake! If you follow me on Instagram you’ll see that I often use the hashtag #weekendsareforbaking, because it’s so true! And now that we’re entering the holiday season there are soo many things I’m excited to bake!

Now to master baking, there are a few tips that make the difference between average baked goods, and spectacular baked goods. The first is buying quality ingredients. You have to have high quality butter (not margarine, or any other brand of fake butter–you’ve got to get the real stuff)!

High quality chocolate is also great to have when baking. It may seem trivial, but a good brand of chocolate chips will make a big difference in taste and texture.

My mom also always taught me to buy high quality Eggland’s Best Eggs. EB eggs are awesome for baking and they’re lower calorie and contain less saturated fat than regular eggs. They have more than double the omega-3s, vitamin D and vitamin E then regular eggs.

So, to sum it up, they blow all other eggs out of the water!  And because I love EB Eggs so much, I’ve teamed up with them for an awesome giveaway! Simply leave a comment below for your chance to win a $25 Visa Gift Card, plus coupons for 2 free dozen EB Eggs!

My second baking tip is to use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature butter, and room temperature eggs, in particular, are a must!

Have you ever noticed the difference between cold and room temperature eggs? Crack one of each open and you’ll notice the room temp eggs yolks are bigger and “fluffier” looking.

You can keep those two tips in mind when making these amazing Toffee Chocolate Chip Bars! Let’s be honest, toffee and chocolate is always a winning combo! These bars have that going for them, plus a yummy layer of caramel flavor from the baked sweetened condensed milk.

They’re rich and completely delicious! Whenever I make these I always make them a day in advance. They taste way better on day two! (And day three and four 🙂 )  They’re perfect for holiday parties–make them a day ahead and you wont feel so stressed!

  26. I made these and the concept of chocolate and toffee together sounds delicious. But I didn’t get the caramel gooey center. They turned out dry with honestly not much flavor. The only thing that I can think of is that my English toffee pieces was the bag with the chocolate also on them not just he plain toffee kind. Has anyone else had this same problem? I want theses to turn out just like the picture because those look amazing! What if I used 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk?

    • Hi Ashley, they definitely shouldn’t turn out dry–if anything they should be overly gooey (that’s why i like to let them rest for several hours). I used the health toffee bits which are only toffee. What kind of pan did you cook them in? Did you use a 14oz container of condensed milk?

      • Hello I used a 9×13 glass pan and a 14oz condensed milk. I will have to try them again. I’m hoping for ooey gooey.

  28. I have the ingredient list but have tried several times to look for the step by step directions on how to make the toffee bats, there is so many pop up ads coming up. Can you email me the recipe would love to try

  30. I love this recipe! Always turns out perfectly. Do you have the serving size per bar? My son has diabetes so I need to calculate how many carbs per serving he has.

    Thanks!

    • Hi Megan,
      The recipe makes about 15 bars and the estimated carbohydrate value is 62 grams per bar.That is just an estimated calculation though! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!

  34. Stumbled upon this recipe today and gave it a go… results… perfection!!! The toffee bars were soft and delicious. I followed the recipe completely. For baking, I only had two 8×8 pans available and I halved each element into the pans. Again, perfect results! Thank you for sharing this recipe ?
