Chocolate Chip Toffee Bars

Recipe from sisterscafe.com

2 1/3 cups flour

2/3 cups brown sugar

3/4 cups butter

1 egg, slightly beaten

1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips

1 cup chopped nuts - I used pecans, but walnuts or macadamias would be great, too.

14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

10 ounces Skor toffee bits

Stir together flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add egg and mix well. Stir in 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips and all of nuts. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of this mixture and press remaining into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Pour milk over hot crust and top with 1 1/2 cups toffee bits. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top plus remaining chips. Bake 25-30 more minutes. Top with remaining toffee bits.
