How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Toffee Squares

  1. **Prepare the Crust:** Line a 9x13 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an inch overhang on each side for easy removal. Set aside.
  2. **Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C).**
  3. **Combine Dry Ingredients:** In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar.
  4. **Combine Wet Ingredients:** In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter and 1 large egg.
  5. **Mix Wet and Dry:** Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just moistened.
  6. **Press into Pan:** Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. **Bake the Crust:** Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  8. **Cool the Crust:** Let the crust cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. **Make the Toffee:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, and ¼ cup light corn syrup.
  10. **Cook the Toffee:** Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue to boil until a candy thermometer reads 230°F (110°C), about 12-15 minutes.
  11. **Pour Toffee:** Carefully pour the hot toffee over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  12. **Chill the Toffee:** Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the toffee to set.
  13. **Make the Ganache:** Place 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
  14. **Heat the Cream:** In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream just to a boil.
  15. **Combine Ganache:** Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let stand for 1 minute. Then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  16. **Cool Ganache:** Let the ganache cool to room temperature.
  17. **Pour Ganache:** Pour the cooled ganache over the set toffee layer and spread evenly.
  18. **Chill Ganache:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
  19. **Cut and Serve:** Lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Peel off the paper and trim the edges. Cut into 1-inch squares and enjoy!
