Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Sprinkle toffee bits over the warm shortbread base as soon as it comes out of the oven.
  6. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in intervals and stirring until smooth.
  7. Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee bits and spread it evenly across the surface.
  8. Allow the bars to cool at room temperature until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes, then cut into desired sizes.
