0.5cupsour cream
0.5cupgranulated sugar
2tspvanilla extract
0.5cuptoffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix the sugar cookie mix, instant French vanilla pudding mix, melted butter, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until a thick dough forms.
Press the dough into the prepared pan evenly, smoothing it out to ensure a uniform crust.
In the same bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, egg yolks, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, checking for doneness starting at 30 minutes.
Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the top and let the bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 3 hours until chilled before serving. Store covered in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is very soft to blend smoothly with the other filling ingredients.
