Guest Blogger and Milk Chocolate Toffee Brownies

Hi, I’m Becca from Crumbs and Chaos, a blog I write with my 3 sisters. We have 11 children between us, hence the name Crumbs and Chaos, we deal with our fair share on a daily basis. We love sharing our favorite recipes, tips on controlling the chaos and seeing awesome things from our readers every Saturday at our Seasonal Inspiration link party. I am honored to be here today at Something Swanky sharing this sweet treat with you.

One thing that my husband and I can always agree on is brownies. He’s not a cake lover, but he’ll always go for a warm, fudgy brownie. So, imagine my excitement when Food Network magazine’s March issue came out – the entire issue dedicated to chocolate. There was an insert booklet with 50 variations on the fabulous brownie. I’ve only read through said booklet about 4 times. It inspired me to create this version – milk chocolate toffee.

They aren’t your usual deep, dark brownie. The chocolate flavor is milder and giving the chopped up Heath bars room the shine. They are delicious warm, at room temperature or topped with ice cream, toffee bits and chocolate syrup!

One thing I loved about this recipe is that all the mixing happens in one saucepan. If you line your baking pan with foil, that’s an added bonus with one less pan to wash. Less dishes to do = one happy mama.

1 stick BUTTER

2 cups MILK CHOCOLATE CHIPS

1/2 cup BROWN SUGAR

1/2 cup WHITE SUGAR

4 EGGS

1 teaspoon VANILLA

1 cup FLOUR

1/2 teaspoon SALT

1 cup CHOPPED HEATH BARS

Preheat oven to 325°. Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil, grease lightly.

In a saucepan, butter and chocolate chips over low heat. Stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat, stir in both sugars. Let cool for a few minutes.

Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla.

Stir in flour, salt and 1/2 cup of chopped heath bars.

Spread in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup of heath bars.

Bake for 45 minutes, remove to cooling rack to cool completely. Remove from pan as one big brownie and cut into pieces.

Thanks for having me, Ashton! Stop on over and say hi!
