Toffee Chocolate Brownies
Updated April 28, 2011
I am fudgy brownie girl all the way! The cake brownies just don’t do it for me:) I used my favorite fudgy recipe and added in Heath toffee bits. Simple, huh?
The results were terrific too. Our friends loved them and gobbled them right up! I will have to make these again when I am feeling better so I can taste and enjoy them. I am glad our friends appreciated them, they were happy to be the brownie samplers.
Adapted from Dessert First
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons cocoa
⅓ cup flour
Heath toffee bits
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8 inch square baking pan with foil and grease well with butter.
Combine chocolates and butter in a metal and place over a bain-marie (pot of simmering water) on medium heat. Heat until chocolates and butter are melted and combined – be sure to stir occasionally to combine and to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn.
Remove from heat and let cool while you make the rest of the batter.
Whisk eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until thick and light-colored, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add in the salt, vanilla, and cocoa powder and whisk to combine.
Add in the melted chocolate mixture and whisk to combine thoroughly.
Sift the flour over the mixture and whisk to combine. Add in toffee bits. I used about ¾ cup.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure to spread it evenly into the corners. Smooth the top out with a spatula. Sprinkle more toffee bits on the top.
Bake in the oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, rotating halfway. Brownies are done when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake!
Let cool on wire rack before cutting into pieces.
You are such a teaser showing us that melting chocolate picture (hehehe).
They look awesome and fudgy for me all the way.
YUMMMM! I’ll bet these were beyond incredible. I hope you really get feeling better SOON!
Toffee would definitely make brownies better. Great idea!

Ooooh I’ve been wondering what to do with some leftover toffee bits in my pantry. These look great!
I know two people here that would just love these brownies. Hope you are feeling better.
How funny – I was just talking to my mom today about how I need a toffee brownie recipe where you can really taste the toffee. I need to try these!
I made Heath brownies not too long ago and I picked off all the Heath and only ate the brownie.
I like my brownies plain…and Fudgey!
These sound scrumptious!
Fudgy brownies are my favorite, too!! I’m loving these, Maria. I can’t wait to try them out. Toffee is such a great flavor and textural addition to a fudgy brownie. So glad everyone loved them–including you. AND, I’m super happy that you’re starting to feel better. Keep getting better so you can come to San Fran soon 🙂
why not combine them? i’ll tell you why not–because then the brownies become absolutely irresistible to me and leave no hope for a swimsuit-ready body. 🙂
Fantastic brownies.. nearly better than mine..(joke)
GRAZIE
This is a great combination of ingredients. I’ll bet they were good.
A. MA. ZING. Seriously. Outrageous. Delicious! I am a fudgey brownie girl all the way, too! Cake is for cake, fudge is for brownies!
More toffee, more brownies today…bring it on!
I’m all about the fudgy brownie! These look wonderful!
Yum. These brownies look delicious. I love toffee on anything.
Your brownie recipes continue to blow me away. Now I’m wondering what your next brownie-induced method of fattening me up will be. 😉
Indulgent to the T…they ROCK Maria!
yum, yum… i love fudgy brownies too… 🙂
Toffee and brownies? Yes please! 🙂
Wow, those look heavenly!!! I also love my brownies to be fudgy, they are the best.
