• 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.

CHOCOLATE-TOFFEE BROWNIE CAKE

• Make glaze:
• Stir chocolate, butter and honey in small saucepan over medium-low heat until mixture is smooth. Cool until mixture thickens slightly but is still pourable, about 10 minutes.
• Pour glaze over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides. Spread glaze over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle top of cake with pecans and toffee bits. Chill until glaze is set, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving.)

Cut small tip from corner of bag; drizzle chocolate over top of hot brownies. Immediately sprinkle toffee chips over top.

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Combine the toffee bits, chips and brown sugar; set aside., In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition (mixture will appear curdled). Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition., Pour a third of the batter into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with a third of the toffee mixture. Repeat layers twice. Bake at 350° for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean., Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack to cool completely. For icing, in a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth; gradually add evaporated milk and brown sugar. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until thickened. Cool. Drizzle over cake.

TOFFEE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven 160C/Gas 3/fan oven 140C. Butter and line the base of a shallow 23cm/9in square cake tin. Melt the chocolate and butter together, stir well and cool.
• Whisk the eggs until pale, then whisk in the sugar until thick and glossy and well combined.
• Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then sift in the flour and baking powder and stir gently until smooth.
• Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Test by inserting a wooden cocktail stick into the middle-there should be a few moist crumbs sticking to it. The mixture will still be soft in the centre but will firm up on cooling.
• Cool in the tin on a wire rack for at least 1 hour, then cut into 16 squares and finish cooling on the rack, although I must admit it is much better to skip all this cooling malarky and eat them immediately when warm and fudgy!
