Heath Brownies are rich, fudgy brownies loaded with buttery toffee bits and sliced almonds, then topped with chocolate ganache and even more toffee. They’re an easy way to turn a boxed brownie mix into an extra-decadent dessert.
I love the combination of chocolate and crunchy toffee in these brownies. The ganache on top makes them taste extra special without making the recipe complicated.

How to Make Heath Brownies
Make the Batter: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the brownie mix, coffee, vegetable oil, and eggs until combined. Fold in the sliced almonds and most of the toffee bits, saving some for the top.
Bake: Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for about 35–40 minutes, or according to the baking time on your brownie mix box.
Make the Ganache: Microwave the chopped bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Finish: Drizzle the ganache over the brownies and sprinkle with the reserved toffee bits.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Don’t overmix: Stir the brownie batter just until everything is combined.
- Save some toffee: Set aside a little to sprinkle over the ganache.
- Follow the box for baking time: Pan sizes and brownie mixes can vary, so use the package directions as your guide.
- Let them cool: Cool the brownies before adding the ganache so it stays thick and rich.
