Makes 24 Brownies
Notes: I used 1 cup of the chocolate chips and melted them in with the butter since I did not have soft butter. Then added that to the sugar and beat it and added the eggs and vanilla etc. Then at the time you add the second addition of chips I put in a full back of Toffee Brickle Bits instead.  I would seriousely consider adding in the 1/2 cup of nuts probably pecans into the recipe. They came out really good.

 Must be good we ate over half the pan this weekend :)
