The Best Brownie Recipe EVER!


This is Paula Deen's recipe and it is simply THE best brownie recipe I have ever made and I have made quite a few. It is so simple and taste completely homemade. No one will ever suspect you did not slave for hours melting chocolate and mixing...Just add Hershey's Symphony Toffee Bars to your run of the mill box brownie mix. Everyone absolutely loves it!!! I have never added 3 bars like the recipe suggests, just 1 or 2 is more than enough & I chop up mine instead. And make sure you don't over bake. Lining your pan with parchment paper really helps with removal. If you cut them up into triangles(first squares, then diagonally), everyone will think you are a gifted baker ;)
