Skor Toffee Chocolate Bars (Slice)

This has to be my absolute favorite Christmas treat. It is stick in your teeth goodness! I made these for the first time last Christmas - unfortunately they didn't last long. So I purposely held off on making them this year, until today.

Skor Toffee Chocolate Bars (Slice)
  • 3/4 cup margarine
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp margarine
  • 300g milk chocolate chips (I use one bag - 270g)
  • 225 g chipits skor toffee bits (again I just use one bag)

Preheat oven to 350. Cream together 3/4 cup margarine, brown sugar and flour until well blended and mixture comes together. Press evenly into 9 x 13 greased cake pan. Bake at 350 for 13 minutes or until light golden brown. Set aside to cool. Heat condensed milk and 2 tbsp margarine in heavy saucepan, stirring constantly over medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Spread over base and return to oven to bake 10 minutes longer. Sprinkle milk chocolate chips and skor toffee bits evenly over top and press down lightly, bake for 2 minutes. Cool completely. If necessary, chill to set chocolate before cutting. Store at room temperature.
