Description

Churro Toffee Delight is a decadent layered dessert combining the warm flavors of cinnamon and buttery brown sugar cookie base with rich chocolate and crunchy toffee bits, all finished with a dusting of cinnamon-sugar and powdered sugar. Perfectly baked and chilled to set, this treat offers a delightful mix of soft, chewy, and crunchy textures that remind you of classic churros in every bite.

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
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus extra for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Make the buttery cinnamon sugar base: Melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes to avoid cooking the flour too soon.
  3. Combine base ingredients and bake: In a large bowl, gently stir the cooled butter-sugar mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined to form a batter. Spread this evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare chocolate-toffee topping: Melt the remaining 1/2 cup unsalted butter in a small bowl. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits, stirring until smooth, creamy, and evenly mixed.
  5. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Mix together 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the cooled baked base.
  6. Assemble topping layer: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar-coated base. Spread it smoothly, then sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top for a sweet finishing touch.
  7. Chill and serve: Allow the dessert to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set the topping firmly. Use the parchment paper to lift the dessert out of the pan, then cut into squares for serving.

Notes

  • Ensure to cool the butter mixture before combining with flour to prevent the batter from becoming tough.
  • Using parchment paper helps with easy removal and clean slicing after chilling.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate depending on your preference.
  • For a more intense cinnamon flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the base.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
