The brownies were great...very moist but the addition of the toffee bits wasn't really noticeable. The Irish Whiskey in the frosting was too strong and those that ate these (I shared some at work) said it was overpowering. Other comments were that the frosting was also extremely sweet. I think I might try to make these again without the toffee bits and adding a different liquor, possibly Kahlua or Amaretto.

The brownies were acceptable for a box mix but the addition of toffee bits went unnoticed. The "rich layer of fudge frosting" was tremendously expensive to produce and petrified. Literally hard as rocks. Your cooking directions were unclear and well off the mark. The "rick layer of fudge frosting" turned out to be a hardened lava field.
