  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well. Pat into the bottom of prepared pan and set aside.

Filling

  • For the filling: Still using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Dump in confectioners' sugar and beat well.
  • Reduce the speed and slowly pour in butter. Mix well.
  • Fold in toffee bits.
  • Pour filling onto cake mixture and spread evenly. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Don't be afraid to make a judgment call on the cooking time, because oven temperatures can vary. You want the center to be a little gooey, so don't bake it past that point!
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares. Just remember that these wonderful cakes are very, very rich, and a little will go a long way.
