Note

Allow the brownie to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off.

For best texture, do not overmix the flour into the batter; fold it in gently to keep the brownies fudgy.

You can substitute the chocolate toffee bar with Heath bars or any similar chocolate-covered toffee candy.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.

If the white chocolate seizes while melting, add a tiny drop of vegetable oil or shortening and stir vigorously to restore smoothness.
