CARAMEL-CASHEW BROWNIES



Caramel-Cashew Brownies image

These brownies include a fusion of sweet caramel and nuts.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield Ten 2-inch brownies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces plus extra for greasing
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup cake flour, sifted
3/4 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks
1/4 cup cream
Approximately 40 store-bought caramels
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 to 3/4 cup raw cashews

Steps:

  • Make the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil, making sure to cover the corners and sides. Lightly butter the aluminum foil, including corners and sides.
  • In the bowl of a double boiler set over simmering water, combine the butter and chopped unsweetened chocolate. Stirring often, heat until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and salt. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir until well blended. Fold in the sifted flour and stir just until the flour disappears. Stir in the semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chunks.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time will be longer if you are using a metal pan. Do not overbake. Transfer the dish to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Make the Carmel-Cashew Topping: Pour the cream into the bowl of a double boiler set over simmering water. Unwrap caramels and put them into the bowl. Stirring frequently to prevent sticking, combine the cream and caramels until the mixture becomes homogeneous and smooth. Take the mixture off the heat and keep stirring until the caramel becomes a little thicker and the mixture begins to cool down. Add a pinch of salt and the vanilla and stir. Coarsely chop the cashews and fold them into the caramel mixture until nuts are completely coated with caramel. Pour mixture over the top of the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
  • Refrigerate the brownies until the caramel is set, about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove brownies from the pan by grabbing the sides of the aluminum foil and lifting them from the pan. With a serrated knife, cut the brownies into 2-inch squares. These can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days or in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4 days.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or less to taste
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chunks
3 ounces chopped pecans (about 1 cup)

Steps:

Place bittersweet chocolate and butter in a heat-proof bowl; set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove pan from heat, and set aside.
  • Sift together the flour, cayenne, and salt, and set aside.

Add the vanilla extract and chocolate mixture, and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Stir in chocolate. Pour into dish, and sprinkle with chopped pecans. Bake until set, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool. When cool, drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 9

Nonstick cooking spray
1 (19.50-ounce) box chocolate brownie mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup chocolate milk
1/4 cup canola oil
1 cup chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup heavy cream
30 caramels (recommended: Kraft)
2 cups shredded coconut, toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, beat the brownie mix with the eggs, chocolate milk, and oil until just combined. Using a spatula, fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Spread into the prepared baking dish and bake until center is barely set, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium low heat. Stir in the caramels until completely melted and incorporated into the cream. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut. Spread in an even layer over the cooled brownies.
  • Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring between intervals. Drizzle the chocolate in a criss-cross pattern over the coconut topping. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set before slicing into bars.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will give your brownies a rich, decadent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a gooey, fudgy brownie, use more butter and sugar. For a cakier brownie, use less butter and sugar.
  • Add in your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.
  • For a special occasion, drizzle the brownies with melted chocolate or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

Caramel brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey caramel center, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
