There is just something about brownies that gives of that warming comfort food. I love to eat my brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and even if you don’t eat them warm from the oven, a few seconds in the microwave is enough to warm them through and make them the perfect pudding.

This brownies recipe does include nuts however if you are unable to eat nuts you can simply switch these out for some more chocolate chunks or maybe even some other fruit such as cherries. When you read the recipe, it may sound like a lot of effort with the toffee middle but trust me, it is divine when you eat it and worth the time.

If you think they will last that long, these toffee brownies will last up to 5 days in an airtight container.

As I mentioned in the recipe, there is no need to spend a fortune on toffees, I use these Tesco own brand ones to make our brownies and they are delicious.

Can you freeze brownies?

Brownies freeze perfectly well but just make sure you put baking paper in between each one to ensure they don’t stick to each other when you freeze them. Once separated, pop them into an airtight container in the freezer.

What to have with your brownies

If you are having your brownies a few days later, you might be looking for a side to have with them. I always find sometimes as delicious as these toffee brownies can be, it may be a little too stodgy after a big meal. Serving these alongside some ice cream or cream is the perfect way to eat these when they are a little warmer.
