This recipe did not turn out for me! They are more like cake and not the fudgy thick brownies we like.

They were okay.. they were much too cakey for my liking and to me they were dry. Unlike some of the other reviewers..I could tell they were "light" brownies. Not a complete waste but not worth making again.

Since other people said this recipe has a tendency to come out dry and hard to mix, I made it using a stand mixer and used 1/3 of a cup of coffee items (1/4c of coffee water from a half a packet of instant coffee, and the remainder made from kaluha). This had a nice side benefit of making the mixture moister. However, it increased the baking time by almost double. Just keep a keen eye on your brownies!

Your note to store leftover brownies went unheeded.. there simply were no leftovers! Cofee, toffee and chocolate are a dynamite combination for the holidays. All of the flavors were balanced and the batter produced a lovely rich cake like texture. Yummy!

I don't know what about these brownies are light because they sure don't taste like light brownies. They were exceptionally easy to make and very delicious. I brought them into work as a treat and was told they were definitely 'keepers!" I used instant espresso and it just enhance the chocolate flavor, didn't overpower with a coffee taste. I love adding espresso to my baking, it just makes the chocolate deeper for some reason.

These brownies do not taste light at all. They were easy to make. I did not have instant coffee so I used added the amount of water. They were great without the coffee. I love toffee and so these really hit the spot. Everyone who I shared them with loved them and did not think they were light either.

These are the best brownies ever. Light but fudgy moist. Made for my book club where one woman loves fudgy brownies and the other loves cakey brownies...they both loved these.

These are definitely good, but they are a little too dry to be great. As others said, mixing the dough is a good arm workout - it's very dry and takes a lot of elbow grease to get everything combined.
