Four ingredients to something that tastes like you spent all afternoon in the kitchen
The magic that happens when toffee meets warm chocolate is worth every bite

02 -

Do not skip the parchment paper these bars stick stubbornly to greased pans
Let the pan cool completely or the chocolate will smear when you try to cut them

Press the dough thin in the center and slightly thicker at the edges to prevent the middle from being underbaked
Rotate the pan halfway through baking for even browning
