• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 48

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup margarine or 3⁄4 cup butter
• 3⁄4 cup  packed brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 (300 ml) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2  tablespoons margarine or 2  tablespoons butter
• 1 (300 g) package  milk chocolate chips
• 1 (225 g) package  skor  toffee pieces (sold where the chocolate chips are sold)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine first amount of butter, brown sugar and flour.
3. Press this mixture evenly into an ungreased 13x9 baking pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until crust is golden.
5. Place baking pan on a wire rack to cool while you make the filling; leave oven on.
6. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat milk and the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened-- it will take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.
7. Spread this over baked crust in baking pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden; remove from oven but leave oven on.
8. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over top; return to oven for 2 minutes, or until the chips soften and are shiny.
9. Remove from oven (turn oven off now) and spread the chocolate evenly; then sprinkle the Skor bits over the chocolate, pressing down with a very light touch to embed the Skor bits into the chocolate.
10. You could cut them into bars right away, but they will cut easier if allowed to chill in the refrigerator for at least a few minutes.
11. Best served at room temperature, not cold.
