Introduction
If a brownie were a person it would be the kind of girl everyone has an opinion about. My husband had a birthday recently and needed some baked goods to take to his office. I wanted to make brownies but hesitated... everyone always has an opinion about the perfect brownie and swears anything that deviates from their norm is just, well, not right. I wasn't sure I could subject him to the office discussion. It was his birthday after all. And then I remembered he's a boy and doesn't care about such things. I have tried a LOT of brownie recipes but I reckon this is my favourite. Though please do send/post alternatives as the search for the perfect brownie is a never ending quest in my world that it's unlikely I'll get bored of. I call these harlequin toffee brownies but they don't really need the elaborate title. Adapted from Good Food Cakes and Bakes.

Hi! I have been trying to make these brownies. I've made them about 5 or 6 times now and I only managed to do it properly once! They were perfect. All the other times they are not ready after 30 minutes and still, the butter seems to detach from the rest of the ingredients making them too oily. They are soooo delicious. What might be the problem here? Please, let me know if you had the same problem and found a solution:)

This recipe did not work. It turned out far too soft to cut into pieces. Too much butter? It tasted nice anyway

When do you add the chocolate?
