Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits

Cinnamon Sugar Dusting

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the base mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes to prevent cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Combine with flour and bake: Transfer the cooled butter and sugar mixture to a large bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and stir gently until just combined to form the churro-like batter. Spread this evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the base is golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare the topping: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a small bowl, then stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring even distribution of the chocolate and toffee.
  5. Make cinnamon sugar dusting: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over the cooled baked base to create a churro-inspired cinnamon sugar layer.
  6. Assemble the dessert: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture over the cinnamon-sugar-coated base and spread it evenly for full coverage. Optionally, sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar on top for decoration. Allow the whole dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let it set and firm up before slicing.
  7. Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the set dessert out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature for a delicious churro-inspired treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
  • Make sure the butter-sugar mixture is cooled before adding the flour to avoid a gummy texture.
  • For easier slicing, chill the dessert well before cutting.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Toffee bits add crunch and sweetness, but chopped nuts can be an alternative.
