Zosia from Toronto, ON

The famous Baked brownie is taken to new heights with the addition of a layer of salted caramel and a sprinkling of coarse salt and sugar. It has a rich chocolate flavour and is neither too fudgy nor too cake-y, though it does lean towards the moist and fudgy side of the spectrum.

The brownies are amazingly easy saucepan brownies that rely on a lot of quality chocolate, butter and cocoa powder for their flavour. The recipe recommends chocolate with a 60-72% cacao content. I find that the less intense chocolate holds the greater appeal.

But, before one starts the brownie, the salted caramel must be prepared and cooled. The recipe is fairly standard (water sugar, corn syrup, cream) but also includes sour cream, and salt, of course. I had some leftover salted caramel from the Sweet and Salty Cake I made, so was able to put this together quickly when my son requested something sweet for a party.

The book is worth the cost for this recipe alone!
