Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Press dough evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips and toffee bits over the dough. Add chopped nuts if desired.
- Gently press toppings into the dough.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set.
