Or alternatively make some sticky toffee pudding, and use your toffee sauce to pour over with perhaps some added cream to make it easy to pour. Its the sauce that provides the toffee flavour for the whole pudding.

I'm not keen on toffee Riverwalk, after a chunk pulled one of my fillings out once! I try and avoid the chewy ones, I don't mind caramel

Actually, (embarrassed to say!) I was just this minute thinking that too, HildajenniJ, doh! Silly me!

Thank you!

Can you not just use another brownie recipe and add your toffee sauce to that?

Can you just not eat the toffee? hmm

We have a box of toffee and I was looking for a recipe to use it in. I found one someone posted on MSE for some toffee brownies, but it omits the amount of flour - can anyone help please? I've searched and searched for the original source with no luck so I've copied and pasted text below. (Or if anyone has another (easy!) recipe suggestion?)

Makes 18 and it says suitable for freezing
1oog dark chocolate,plus 50g to decorate
175g butter
250g creamy toffees
5tbsp double cream
4 eggs
2tsp vanilla essance
1 tsp baking powder

Turn the oven to 160c/gas 4.Grease a 28/18cm shallow baking tin and line the base with baking paper.Break up 100g of the chocolate and put in large bowl the butter. Sit over a pan of simmering water stirring occasionally,until melted. Put the toffees and cream in another pan and melt gently,stirring.

Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture.Lightly beat the eggs with the vanilla then stir into the mixture.Sift in the flour and baking powder and mix lightly. Pour half the mixture into the tin and drizzle over three quarters of the toffee sauce.
Spread over the rest of the brownie mixture.
Bake for 40mins until firm to touch.Leave to cool in tin for 20 mins then peel away the baking paper and leave to cool on wire rack.

Reheat the remaining toffee sauce and in separate bowl melt the remaining 50g chocolate over bowl of simmering water. With the tip of a teaspoon,quickly drizzle the toffee over the brownie repeat with the chocolate. Leave to set then cut into slices.
