Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • cup water
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 oz chocolate toffee bar like Symphony with Toffee Bits or Ghirardelli with Toffee Bits cut into pieces
  • 1 cup salted mini pretzel twists broken into pieces
  • ½ cup roasted salted peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Whisk the eggs, oil, sugar, water, and vanilla extract for 5 minutes.
  • Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt and fold gently until just combined.
  • Add the chocolate toffee bar pieces, pretzels and peanuts, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on the top, and fold until just combined.
  • Scrape batter into a greased or parchment paper lined 9x9 inch baking pan, and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle the reserved pieces over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, checking at 25 until edges are set, and toothpick inserted in center comes out with wet crumbs.
  • Cool before cutting.

Notes

  • Use a chocolate bar that has toffee bits in it (like Symphony), rather than chocolate covered toffee (like Heath or Skor).
  • Do not over mix batter; and don't use a whisk once you've added the flour, just fold it until combined. 
  • The center may seem slightly underdone when you take it out, use a toothpick to determine if it's still batter, or if it's moist crumbs that stick to it. 
  • It's far better to under cook the brownies than over cook them.
