Title: Toffee Brittle Bars

Ingredients:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
– 1/2 cup toffee bits

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

3. Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.

4. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the warm crust, allowing them to melt slightly. Use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into an even layer.

6. Scatter the chopped toasted pecans and toffee bits over the melted chocolate layer, pressing them gently into the chocolate.

7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or bars. For cleaner cuts, you can refrigerate the bars for about 30 minutes to firm up the chocolate.
