• Yield 15 Servings
• Ready in 40 minutes
• Prep 10 minutes
• Cook 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 8 tablespoons butter (softened)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5-6 (1.4-ounces) each chocolate covered toffee bars (like Heath) (chopped)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and center a rack in the middle of the oven. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, flour and butter. Crumble these ingredients together with a pastry blender, whisk or two forks until the mixture is crumbly and coarse. Remove 1/2 cup of the crumbs to a small bowl and set aside. To the large bowl with the remaining crumbs, add the buttermilk, egg, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the reserved crumbs and chopped Heath bars. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is no longer gooey but a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs. The cake may fall slightly in the center leaving the edges raised. No fear! It will still be delicious.

Cool the pan before you lift the squares.
