Method
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.
Mix the crust ingredients by combining the golden butter cake mix, melted butter, and eggs until smooth. Fold in mini chocolate chips and toffee bits. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add dulce de leche, vanilla extract, remaining eggs, and heavy cream. Mix until blended, then gradually incorporate powdered sugar until silky.
Pour the filling evenly over the crust, scatter the remaining mini chocolate chips and sprinkle slivered almonds on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes until edges are golden and center is slightly jiggly.
Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Top with additional toffee bits before serving.
