Indulge in the delightful simplicity of Cake Mix Toffee Bars, a sweet treat that marries convenience with flavour. Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a mixing bowl, combine a box of your favourite cake mix—be it vanilla or chocolate—with melted butter and a couple of eggs, stirring until the mixture is irresistibly smooth.
Once blended, fold in generous handfuls of toffee bits, allowing the sweet chunks to scatter throughout the batter like little nuggets of joy. Pour the rich mixture into a lined baking tin, smoothing the surface with a spatula. As they bake, the intoxicating aroma of buttery toffee fills your kitchen, promising a delightful treat.
Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool before slicing into squares. Each bite reveals a soft, chewy texture peppered with caramel-like toffee, making them an ideal snack with a cuppa or a splendid addition to any afternoon tea spread. Enjoy!
