Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1 cup canola oil
4 eggs
1/4 cup 2% milk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 ounces)
14 ounces caramels (like Kraft caramels)
1 can (14 ounces sweetened condensed milk)
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Spoon two thirds of the batter into the greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile prepare the caramel filling. In a microwave safe bowl, heat the caramels and sweetened condensed milk stirring 30 seconds at a time until melted and smooth. Can also melt over medium low heat in a saucepan.
  • Pour the melted caramel over the warm brownie layer. Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top. Drop remaining brownie batter over the top of the caramel and carefully swirl the top with a knife. Bake for an additional 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Do not overbake. Allow the brownies to completely cool before serving. Can also garnish the brownies lightly with additional sea salt.

Provided by Jane Hornby

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Treat

Time 50m

Yield Makes 16 larger or 32 bite-sized brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

200g unsalted butter, plus a little extra for greasing
100g chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
100g chocolate, 50% cocoa solids
397g can Carnation caramel
1 tsp flaky sea salt, plus a little extra for the top
200g golden caster sugar
4 medium eggs, at room temperature
130g plain flour
50g cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  • Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
  • Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
  • In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt - it will loosen up.
  • Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
  • In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
  • Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
  • Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
  • Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
  • Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
  • Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these brownies, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A good quality chocolate will have a smooth, rich flavor and will melt evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies at a moderate temperature. Baking the brownies at too high of a temperature will cause them to overcook and become dry. Bake the brownies at a moderate temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the brownies. Overcooked brownies will be dry and crumbly. To test if the brownies are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the pan. If the toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. Cutting the brownies while they are still warm will make them fall apart. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares.

Conclusion:

These salted caramel dark chocolate brownies are rich, decadent, and oh-so-delicious. They are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. The combination of the sweet and salty caramel sauce with the rich dark chocolate is simply irresistible. These brownies are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
