Instructions
CRUST:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, and spray with cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine all crust ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. Press into the prepared pan in an even layer.
FILLING:
In the same bowl (cleaned), combine all filling ingredients except the toffee bits. Beat with a handheld electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Spread evenly over the crust. Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until the center is set. Sprinkle toffee bits on top and let cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
