Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for base)
  • 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 (for topping)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toffee bits
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar mix)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy removal later.
  2. Make Cinnamon Butter Mixture: In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir constantly until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes to prevent cooking the flour in the next step.
  3. Prepare Base Batter and Bake: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cinnamon butter mixture with 1 cup of all-purpose flour. Stir gently until just combined to form the churro-flavored base batter. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Melt Butter and Mix Topping: In a small bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and toffee bits until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the indulgent topping.
  5. Make Cinnamon Sugar and Sprinkle: Combine 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 1/2 cup of powdered sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar evenly over the cooled base to infuse the churro flavor and add sweetness.
  6. Assemble Dessert: Pour the melted chocolate-toffee mixture evenly over the cinnamon sugar-coated base and spread it gently to cover the surface. Optionally, sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top for added presentation and flavor. Let the dessert cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the topping to set firmly.
  7. Serve: Using the parchment paper, lift the chilled dessert out of the baking dish. Cut into squares or desired shapes and serve as a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Make sure the cinnamon butter mixture is cooled before adding the flour to prevent lumps.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Refrigerating the dessert helps the topping firm up for clean slicing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a different flavor twist, consider adding chopped nuts to the topping.
