These blondies are chewy and buttery blondies that are loaded with toffee pieces and dark chocolate inside. The brown butter adds a strong gourmet flavour and pairs perfectly with the toffee and chocolate. It's a basic blondie with a sweet and salty spin!
You will find hints of vanilla and tons of toffee flavour in these bars. Complimented by the dark chocolate, they're dangerously good!
The bars come together in a square pan and taste like a giant cookie bar. It's the kind of recipe you make when you're craving cookies but don't want to individually roll them out. The inside is super soft and loaded with toffee bits and dark chocolate!

Key Ingredients
Scroll to view a few ingredients notes. Full recipe and measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Butter - Unsalted butter works best. This will be melted and browned.
Eggs - Remove 2 hours before baking.
Toffee - You can always make your own, but if you want store-bought I always use this one.
Dark chocolate - I prefer using dark chocolate to compliment the sweetness from the toffee. You may use semi-sweet as well.
Step by step instructions
Here is how to make and bake this dark chocolate toffee blondies. You will need an 8×8 square pan lined with parchment paper, a large mixing bowl, a spatula, and a whisk.
Step 1 – Prep. Grease the pan. For easy removal of the brownies, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease again and then set side.
Step 2 - Whisk the butter and sugar. In a medium sized bowl, whisk the cooled browned butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes.
Step 3 - Add the eggs and vanilla. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Continue whisking.
Step 4 - Add in the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Once semi-mixed, add in dark chocolate and toffee bits. Mix until no dry streaks appear, but don't over-mix.
Step 5 - Spread and bake. Transfer the dough into the prepared pan and spread out evenly. Add extra toffee and chocolate pieces if desired. Bake for 25-27 minutes. The edges will be slightly golden brown.
Step 6: Cut and serve. When the bars are done, let them cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Expert Baking Tips
- Use good quality dark chocolate and toffee bits.
- Spoon and level your flour using a gram scale for the most accurate measurements.
- Line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper. Grease the other two sides. This will allow for the easiest removal from the pan.
Storing & Freezing
Store these Dark Chocolate Toffee Blondies in an airtight container at room temperature or in your fridge for up to 5 days. Personally I enjoy eating them cold. I find that the chocolate and toffee mixed with the buttery blondie flavour is a lot stronger.
Freeze for up to 3 months in an airtight container.

Ingredients
- 3/4 cups butter melted and browned
