Ingredients

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 2/3 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup walnut pieces (about 4 ounces), toasted, cooled
5 1.4-ounce Heath English toffee candy bars, chopped

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Stir butter and chocolate in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Cool to lukewarm.

    Step 2

    Whisk flour, salt, and baking soda in small bowl to blend. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs, and vanilla in large bowl until thick and billowy, about 3 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture, then flour mixture. Fold in walnuts. Transfer to pan.

    Bake brownies until puffed and tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 28 minutes. Sprinkle brownies evenly with chopped toffee bars. Cool in pan on rack. (Brownies can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; store at room temperature.) Cut into squares.
