Toffee Brownies

As I've mentioned in the past and will no doubt repeat in the future: I love me some Paula Deen. I love her unapologetic use of butter and the enormous joy she gets (and gives) from food.  So, when I'm feeling the need for comfort, I go to my culinary mama and say, "Mama Paula, what y'all got for me today?" She always answers. 

Now, I love playing in the land of Mama Paula's recipes. I love preparing my mise. I love that her recipes come out perfect every time. I love that they allow me to put my personal stamp on them. I love the down-homey goodness that they exude. But sometimes, I need a quick fix. I want easy, no sweat, instant gratification. Thankfully, Paula's knows how to do that too.

Easy

Serves:

24 large/48 small brownies

Ingredients

• 1 (17.6-ounce) package brownie mix with walnuts
• Vegetable oil cooking spray
• 3 (6-ounce) candy bars with almonds and toffee chips (recommended: Symphony brand)

Directions

Prepare the brownie mix according to package directions.

Line a 13 by 9-inch cake pan with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil cooking spray. Spoon in half of the brownie batter and smooth with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Place the candy bars side by side on top of the batter. Cover with the remaining batter.

Bake according to package directions. Let cool completely, then lift from the pan using the edges of the foil. This makes it easy to cut the brownies into squares.
