Churro Toffee Delight is a decadent layered dessert combining a buttery cinnamon-sugar base with rich chocolate and crunchy toffee bits. This treat is baked to golden perfection and topped with a luscious chocolate-toffee layer dusted with cinnamon powdered sugar, offering a delightful blend of textures and flavors reminiscent of the classic churro dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven 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. Melt Butter and Combine Sugars: Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until everything is well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes to avoid cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Make the Base Batter and Bake: In a large bowl, combine the cooled butter-sugar mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir gently just until combined to form the batter. Pour and spread this evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the base is golden brown and set. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Prepare Chocolate-Toffee Topping: In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
  5. Add Cinnamon Sugar Layer: 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 to add characteristic churro flavor.
  6. Top and Set: Pour the chocolate-toffee mixture evenly over the cinnamon-sugar-coated base using a spatula to spread. Sprinkle a little extra powdered sugar on top for added sweetness and decoration. Let the dessert cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the topping to set firmly.
  7. Serve: Lift the entire dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper edges, cut into squares, and serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • For easier cutting, ensure the dessert is fully chilled before slicing.
  • You can substitute toffee bits with crushed Butterfinger candy bars for a different toffee crunch.
  • If you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase ground cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Allow dessert to come to room temperature before serving if preferred less firm.
