Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup toffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well-combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the butterscotch chips and toffee bits using a spatula.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into 16 squares.
Notes
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness. To ensure the best texture, do not overbake, as the edges will continue to firm up while cooling in the pan.
