📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brownies:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 square pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving a couple inches of overhang on two sides (this will allow you to lift the whole tray of brownies out of the pan for easy removal). Grease the foil/parchment.
3
Wet ingredients
4
Combine granulated sugar and hot butter in a large bowl. Stir it briefly then allow it to sit undisturbed for ⏱️ 5 minutes. The heat from the butter will begin to dissolve the sugar (this helps make a shiny/crackly crust), the sugar will not fully dissolve. After ⏱️ 5 minutes, whisk the butter and sugar vigorously for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add eggs, water, and vanilla extract, whisking again for about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Tap all the excess batter off the whisk and remove the whisk from the bowl.

Dry ingredients
6
Sprinkle cocoa powder, powdered sugar, flour, chocolate chips, salt, and espresso powder over the wet ingredients. Use a rubber/silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir the mixture until it is glossy and well combined.
espresso powder (reduce to 1T for a less strong coffee flavor)2 tablespoonsespresso powder1 teaspoon

Bake
8
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for for ⏱️ 28-33 minutes (begin checking at ⏱️ 28 minutes). The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out without raw batter on it, moist fudgy crumbs are OK. Be careful not to over bake. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack until completely cool.

In a small saucepan over medium-low heat (or in the microwave in 15-second increments) combine chocolate chips, cream, and espresso powder. Heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Immediately pour over the cooled brownies and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle the toffee bits over the top. Allow to cool for several hours until the ganache firms up (you can speed this up by placing the whole pan in the fridge for ⏱️ 30 minutes or so).
