COFFEE TOFFEE BROWNIE BARS

Category: Bars

1/4 cup instant coffee granules
1/2 cup water, divided
2 boxes Duncan Hines® Dark Chocolate Premium Brownie Mix
5 large eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 packages (8 oz. each) toffee bits (does not contain chocolate)
1/3 cup Duncan Hines® Creamy Home-Style Dark Chocolate Fudge Frosting

Preheat oven following directions on box for type of pan used. Grease 17x12x1-inch baking pan; set aside. Dissolve coffee granules in 1/4 cup HOT water. Add remaining 1/4 cup water.

Prepare brownie mix as described on box using 5 eggs, coffee-water mixture and oil. Spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake in center of oven 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Immediately spread toffee bits evenly over top. Carefully cover tightly with foil. Place on wire rack; cool completely.

Place frosting in small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 15 seconds. Stir to blend. If needed, microwave another 15 seconds. Do NOT overheat. Heat just until frosting flows slightly. Place in resealable plastic bag. Cut a very small hole in bottom corner. Squeeze bag to drizzle frosting evenly over toffee bits. Allow frosting to set. Cut into bars and serve.
