I would definitely make these again but only put a very thin layer of the frosting because it is way too sweet. Delicious in small amounts though. I had to cut the brownies into brownie bites. They are in though, very delicious in small amounts.

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.
