TOFFEE NUTTY BARS

1 pkg. Duncan Hines Yellow Cake Mix, dry
2 eggs
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup crushed walnuts or pecans
1 bag Skor or Heath toffee bits

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan.

In a bowl, mix the dry cake mix, 1 stick butter, and 1 egg. Mix it well and press into the cake pan.* (see note)

After pressing into pan, pour sweetened condensed milk, 1 egg, walnuts, and toffee bits into bowl. Stir well and pour over cake mix.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 40 minutes. Don't let it burn; take out when golden brown. Cool.

*EDITOR'S NOTE:

Hi Trudy,

Similar recipes that I have seen call for prebaking the bottom layer for 10 minutes. You mentioned 7 minutes in your post. I would go with that and prebake the cake mix layer. I think they may have just had a error in their online recipe. If anyone wants to try the recipe as posted without prebaking please let us know how it turns out!

Happy Baking,

Betsy
