Ingredient Notes
- Butter – I always use salted as salt enhances the flavor of all baked goods. Have it at room temperature for easy incorporation.
- Brown Sugar – Provides caramel undertones plus helps make for moist bars.
- Sugar
- Egg – My recipes always use large eggs unless otherwise noted. They should be at room temperature.
- Baking Soda
- Salt – I prefer table salt for baking as it’s finer and will disperse better than kosher salt.
- Flour – All-purpose
- Chocolate Chips – Semi-Sweet for the bars, Milk Chocolate for the fudge.
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – A 14-ounce can
- Heath Bar Chunks – I prefer chopping my own from fun-sized or regular Heath bars, but Heath Bar Bits will work, too.
How to Make
Beware, these are rich. But that just means it will serve more. And last longer!
- Make the cookie dough, then the fudge filling.
- A thin layer of chocolate chip cookie dough is topped with a combination of melted chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.
- Next comes a sprinkle of Heath bar chunks.
- And, finally, more chocolate chip cookie dough is dolloped and spread over the surface of the fudge.
- Bake, cool, and slice!
- Note that using an offset spatula to spread the dough across the surface will help make your bars look more like the top photo. But if your family is like mine, taste not appearance is most important!
Don’t even think about the calories. And don’t leave yourself alone with them either!!! If you like rich fudge or toffee, then these marvelous Fudge and Toffee Filled Chocolate Chip Bars will be right up your alley.

Love these fudge and toffee bars. Delicious combination. Something to surprise my family. Thanks for sharing.
Could you use coconut flour instead of regular flour?
Hi, Jennie,
Great question, but I had to do a little research to see if it would work as I don’t use coconut flour in my baking. It doesn’t look like it would be an easy swap out since the amount of liquid and baking time would both need to be adjusted. I don’t think you’d be happy with the results. Wish I had better news for you!
We usually make chocolate chip bars instead of chocolate chip cookies these days — we like the bars that much! And wow! You’ve taken the bars several notches up. Really good stuff — thanks.
The recipe name already sounds ridiculously delicious, and needless to say the bars look terrific. Great flavour combination!
Sounds absolutely amazing! And very chocolatey:@)
I loved how easy this is to make! Really good!
These are my new favorite treat! So good.
This taste every kind of amazing!
You are correct. These are so decadent! We loved them!
these are a delicious addition to my cookie and candy tray!
HI, everything looks scrumptious 🙂 What is a fun size health bar?
They are small, two bite sized Heath bars (chocolate covered toffee candy). Each weighs about 1/4 oz. If you have access to any chocolate covered English toffee candy, it would work fine.
Oh, goodness. Those are beautiful. Keep them far, far away from me! Hahahaha
I just found your site via Manu’s Menu, and I am so glad I did! These would not be safe in my house. Who am I kidding? No sweets are safe in my house!
You do make the best desserts, Liz, absolutely the best chocolatey desserts, too. Whenever I need a special treat, or just inspiration, I nose around here!
Lizzy,
These bars look incredible. I have to make them soon.

You make some serious bars, but this one has got to be one of the most tempting ever Liz! Seriously. Isn´t fudge the best thing when done right? Can´t wait to share these.
OMG, these look amazing! I could never eat them ( too much sugar) but I can sure appreciate them.
Have these in the oven right now. It’s my Grandmother’s birthday and I still haven’t figured out how I will get them baked, packaged, and to her without eating them all. Thanks for sharing!
Such a sweet treat for your grandmother! Hope you both enjoy 🙂
Good grief – I would break my diet for those!
I loved that you caught yourself tasting these too much…. I do that too. 🙂 Sometimes I wonder if I will have enough for my photos. 🙂 These sure look decadent and beautiful. 🙂
These are incredibly dangerous. I can’t get over that insanely thick rich fudgy filling! Can I move in with you? I swear I’ll make myself useful. I’ll do anything so that I can eat everything you make!
These look positively dangerous…and I mean that in the most delicious way possible!! 🙂
I’m afraid I “sampled” everything before I shared with others. I can TOTALLY see you struggled to get these out of your house. It’s IMPOSSIBLE! 🙂 I wish I can even have a slightest corner of your bars…
Yes, these babies would have to leave or else I’d lose myself in them!
These sound incredible. You’ve always got something so tempting on here!
My, my…no wonder you did not want to be left alone with these beauties. I would not trust myself to be alone with these either!
You’ve convinced me. I must make these bars!
Wow Liz, these bars look like the ultimate decadent treat fit for a queen! Oh my and that filling looks so insanely rich and irresistible! Your bars always look magnificent and picture perfect as always and I definitely couldn’t be trusted alone with these either:)
You make the BEST sweets, Liz. These look irresistible!
–Because of you,
my ass is HUGE! Xxx Can’t wait to eat.. Um, I mean, bake these.
O.M.Greatness!!! I would have to get these out fast too! Toffee just makes everything better.
Oh yea – I would definitely find myself having to ask the husband to hide these or give them away. Anything with toffee is irresistible for me and the combination of toffee, fudge and cookie – well – just shoot me now. 🙂
I need a board on Pinterest called “How many recipes from Liz before I gain 30 pounds!”
These look amazing once again!!
AW, you’re so sweet, Becky! xo
I love fudge but these look way better than your average fudge. I just saved this recipe and without question will be making these soon. They look so nice and dense and fudgie! YUM!!!
These do look very rich but very, very yummy. How perfectly they cut into cubes too. My son’s school is having a cake stall this Sunday and we all have to make something. I’m sure a few boxes of these would go down very well xx
Holy cow, these look so sweet…and so good. I totally understand you needing to get them out of the house. This is the kind of dessert that I OD on and then feel nauseous for days…
Fudge and toffee? Yes please! These look so decadent and delicious. I’ll need a big glass of milk to wash all that yummy goodness down. 🙂 Great post Liz! And love the recipe. Pinning!
Could not leave myself alone with these. You are so right. Bookmarking these to make very soon!
Great pictures – these look fantastic! And I know what you mean about sampling as you photograph – that can sometimes be a real problem! Really nice recipe – thanks for this.
Oh My! I saw these bars earlier on Pinterest-that fudge layer is a show stopper 😉
OMG! Just when I thought chocolate chip and fudge could not get any better – you add toffee! YUM! 🙂
These look SO incredible, Liz! Absolutely delicious and indulgent!
You’ve got me wanting to make these this very second! They look irresistable…
Wow! These are the most amazing bars ever! They look like they should be in a very gourmet little bakery! You’re really speaking my name Lizzie with the chocolate and toffee!
I wish I could eat all of this in one go my friend 😀
Cheers
CCU
If only we could get the same rich flavors and textures in sugar-free! Sigh. In the meantime, glad to have the recipe – and friends to share your yummy bars =)
These do look rich!!! Sometime wish we could make single servings to prevent us from eating the whole thing…
Yum, Liz! Alex will love this recipe 🙂
Okay so I love chocolate chip cookies- they are my favorite and i eat them every night but my husband could care less about them. He always asks for something different and I think this is the perfect balance of something different for him but still chocolate chip cookie goodness for me:) AWESOME
These would not be allowed in my house. Scratch that don’t put me near these, they look just too good to have one bite!
Oh my God, they look sooo good 😀
Out from your house, and into mine, please! Haha! These sure look good!
they look yummy!
Too funny, Liz. They do look deliciously tempting. Just as well you shared them otherwise you may have had to change your name eventually to ‘That Chocolate Fudgy Chick Can Bake!’
I just….there are no words.
I’m dying. Too good.
HOLY moley! I feel a new addiction coming on!
Oh my good lord, I would have to get them out of the house too! I wish I could snack on these things all day long but alas my jeans would hate me.
Lizzy , those bars look sinfully delicious ! I haven’t eaten Heath bar though *sigh*
I love rich dessert 🙂 the sweet condensed milk adding rich sweetnes in this fudge I’m sure everyone enjoy it.
I channel all of my dessert needs through your blog. These are doing wonders for me.
Well today is my sons birthday and I see what I am making when I get off work these look like a perfect fast treat he will love thanks Liz!!! Love them! He loves heath bars and reeses cups I know you have that recipe here too! The best of the best on desserts are found right here thanks again my friend!
Wow, all that and diet too!!! No? Oops, my bad. They look great:@)
Those look fantastic! I think they might translate well to gluten-free, too.
Liz, what a decadent treat these chocoalte chip bars are – I have never baked any bars with a cookie dough base and then a fudge and toffee layer – the recipe certainly sounds amazing and looks fabulous. No surprise that you received rave reviews for these!
I’m afraid I’d have to send these out of the house too…. they look irresistible with that toffee filling!
