Easy Brownies

Double Chocolate Toffee Brownies

Moist, rich and cake-like brownies at the tip of your fingers.  This is the first time I have seen brownies made in this method and it makes  delicious homemade brownies accessible to even the laziest person.


Double Chocolate Toffee Brownie Recipe
Makes 18-24 brownies

INGREDIENTS

3 sticks plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
12 ounces best-quality bittersweet chocolate
6 eggs
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, or chopped bars
1/2 cup chocolate toffee candy pieces

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Melt the butter and dark chocolate together in a large heavy based pan over a low heat. In a bowl or large measuring bowl, beat the eggs together with the sugar and vanilla extract.

Allow the chocolate mixture to cool a little, then add the egg and sugar mixture and beat well. Fold in the flour and salt. Then stir in the white chocolate chips, and the chocolate toffee candy. Beat to combine then scrape and pour the brownie mixture into the prepared tin.

Bake for about 25 minutes. You can see when the brownies are ready because the top dries to a slightly paler brown speckle, while the middle remains dark, dense and gooey.

To serve, cut into squares and pile up on a large plate.
