About this Recipe

English toffee is one of those flavors that just feels so fancy and decadent as soon as it hits your taste buds. Adding some toffee to a classic dessert is one of the easiest ways to elevate it to special occasion-worthy. These tasty, fancy brownies are easy enough for a weeknight dessert but fit right in at a holiday party.

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Use this brownie recipe to replace that box of brownie mix you usually keep on hand. Just double the dry ingredients and divide. Store half the dry ingredients in a sealed container or storage bag for up to 6 months for a homemade brownie mix that is so much better than any grocery store kind!

How to Store

  • Serve: You can keep Toffee Chip Brownies at room temperature in a sealed container, or covered with foil, for up to 4 days.
  • Store: Place cooled brownies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Use parchment paper to separate layers when stacking brownies.
  • Freeze: Store brownies in a freezer-safe container lined with parchment paper and freeze for up to 6 months.

Ideas to Serve

For a delicious, decadent brownie topping, drizzle with Salted Caramel Sauce once they’ve cooled. You can also top with vanilla ice cream or Chocolate Ganache. Serve these brownies lightly dusted with powdered sugar for a simple late-afternoon coffee treat.

Variations

  • Toffee Chip Blondies: To make Toffee Chip Blondies, leave out the cocoa powder, use 1 ½ cups of flour, and substitute brown sugar for white sugar. Prepare the ingredients as usual and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Chocolate Chips: This recipe uses semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use dark chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or white chocolate chips. For a more buttery, toffee taste, use caramel baking chips instead of chocolate!
  • Nuts: Toasted almonds or pecans would taste so good in these Toffee Chip Brownies. Add a ½ cup of chopped nuts to the brownie batter.
  • Espresso: Adding 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder, or a shot of fresh espresso, brings out the chocolate flavor without overpowering with coffee flavor.
  • Candy Bars: Use less baking chips and chocolate chips and instead stir in ½ cup roughly chopped Heath Bars, Skor Bors, or Butterfingers.
  • Pretzels: The saltiness of the pretzels perfectly balances the sweetness of toffee and chocolate. Add a ½ cup of chopped hard pretzels to the batter and sprinkle ¼ cup pretzel bits on top before baking.
