1egg

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking pan by coating with cooking spray.
Beat the brown sugar and butter together until smooth. Beat in the egg, and then beat in the flour.
In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate chips and nuts and then incorporate about 1-1/2 cups of them to the batter (it will be crumbly).
Set aside 1-1/2 cups of the batter and press the remaining batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over top of the baked crust, and sprinkle all but 1/4 cup of the toffee bits on top, then sprinkle on the rest of the batter, chocolate chips and nuts.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown.
Top with the final 1/4 cup of toffee bits, and press them gently into the top. Cut into bars once the pan has cooled completely, and store them in an airtight container.
You have to trust the golden brown color on these bars to know they're done, because it's impossible to use the toothpick trick with the gooey sweetened condensed milk in the middle.
