I posted this recipe on my facebook page last week, and I've been dying to make it. I have a couple friends who enjoy baking aswell so yesterday we decided to make them! Boy were they decadent! If your looking for a treat, give these brownies a try!
Chocolate Caramel Brownies with Nutella Topping
6 large brownies
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Sauce (recipe follows)
Nutella
Chopped Hazelnuts
Preheat oven 350•F and grease a 10x7 baking dish.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa and salt in a medium sized bowl.
In a large bowl beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in vanilla extract.
On low speed add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Pour half of the batter into the baking pan. Top with a layer of caramel sauce. Try to not go ALL the way to the edge. Put on the rest of the brownie.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Melt Nutella in a microwave and spread over warm brownies. Top with hazelnuts and serve while warm with icecream.
Easy Peasy Caramel Sauce
1/2 cup butter or margarine (STICK BUTTER OR MARGARINE)
1 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
In a pan over low heat, melt butter. Add brown sugar and cook until it is smooth. 1 minute.
Add whipping cream. Increase to medium heat. Cook the mixture on a simmer for about 5 minutes. It will only change colour a bit. Stir in vanilla extract
Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan then pour into a can. It will thicken up as the day goes on. Refrigerate when not using. Let it sit at room temperature before using. Microwave if too thick.
Enjoy the brownies! They are YUMMY!
Home made caramel, sorry for the terrible picture!
