I used only half the recommended instant coffee crystals because I'm not a big fan of coffee flavored desserts. Be sure to use a 9" square dish if you want your brownies to turn out thicker. I used a pan especially for "squares" and the brownies came out a little too thin for my liking. Overall the brownies were tasty and the toffee pieces gave it a nice little crunch.
