CARAMEL WALNUT BROWNIES



Caramel Walnut Brownies image

The brownie recipe is "Brownies Cockaigne" from the Joy of Cooking. I had to adapt the directions a bit to make them more readable in this format. They are absolutely the BEST brownies I've ever had. They're more fudgey and dense than cakey. I've added all kinds of things to this brownie recipe and it's always turned out good. The addition of caramel was all mine, though, so I feel like I can take a bit of the credit!

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 55m

Yield 1 13 x 9 pan, 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup jarred caramel sauce (I use "Smucker's Sundae Syrup") or 1/4 cup ice cream topping (I use "Smucker's Sundae Syrup")

Steps:

  • This recipe has appeared in Joy since the original edition. Have all ingredients at room temperature. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350* F. Line a 13 x 9- inch baking pan (I always use Pyrex) with greased aluminum foil, allowing it to overhang the 2 narrow ends of the pan by 2 inches.
  • In a large, heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt butter with chocolate, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth.
  • Remove from heat and set butter and chocolate aside until completely cool.
  • Once cool, stir in sugar and vanilla.
  • Stir in eggs until well-combined.
  • Add flour and walnuts and stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix!).
  • Scrape the batter into the pan and spread to the edges.
  • Once level, drizzle caramel ice cream topping over brownies in a swirly pattern or zig-zag. Be careful not to get too much syrup in one spot, or it'll make a delicious, gooey hole in the finished brownies. The syrup will make a slight indentation into the brownies as they bake.
  • Bake until the center of the pan is almost firm when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean but still moist at the bottom, 23-28 minutes.
  • Remove the pan to a cooling rack and let stand several hours until completely cool.
  • Using the overhanging foil as handles, lift the brownies to a cutting board, peel off the foil, and slice into pieces.
  • **Helpful hint: Using a plastic knife will keep the brownies from sticking to the knife!***.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield forty-eight 1 1/2-inch squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

Vegetable oil, for greasing
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into chunks
1/2 cup heavy cream
Brownie:
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) salted butter, plus more for greasing
10 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups salted skinless peanuts (not dry-roasted)

Steps:

  • For the caramel: Very lightly grease the inside of a 2-cup glass measuring cup with oil. Combine the granulated sugar and butter in a small deep saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. (Don't worry if the mixture looks curdled and then separated-it will come together.) Cook, stirring, until it looks like dark peanut butter, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat in a small saucepan. When the butter mixture is the right color, remove from the heat and slowly and very carefully whisk in the hot cream-it will bubble up and steam, so be careful. Put the pot back over medium heat, bring the mixture back to a simmer and cook about 1 minute. Pour into the prepared measuring cup and cool to room temperature. (The caramel can be made the night before and kept, covered, at room temperature. You can warm it very briefly in a microwave so that it is pourable, but be careful not to overheat. It should not be too loose.)
  • For the brownie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut a piece of foil 9 by 20-inches. Butter the corners and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line the pan with the foil so that the excess hangs over at each of the short sides of the pan. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, being careful that the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally with a rubber spatula until smooth.
  • Whisk the eggs, sugars and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir the chocolate into the egg mixture using a rubber spatula, and then stir in the flour until just combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the peanuts.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Drizzle the caramel over the top, using a butter knife to swirl it into the batter. Coarsely chop the remaining 1/2 cup peanuts and scatter over the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Be sure to insert the toothpick in a spot that does not have too much caramel.
  • Place on a cooling rack and, while still slightly warm, run a butter knife between the brownie and the long sides of the pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • When the brownie has cooled completely, place a lightweight cutting board or a baking rack over the top of the pan. Flip and set on the counter. Gently pull the pan from the foil and the foil from the pan to remove. Gently peel the foil off the brownie. Place another lightweight cutting board on top, and flip the brownie right-side-up. Slice into 1 1/2-inch squares.

Fudgy Chocolate Chunk Brownies with Walnuts image

Categories     Mixer     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Bake     Picnic     Kid-Friendly     Back to School     Walnut     Winter     Bon Appétit     Arizona     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 15

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
3 1/4 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups chopped toasted walnuts
6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Melt first 3 ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Let cool 10 minutes.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar, eggs, espresso powder and vanilla in large bowl until blended. Add melted chocolate mixture and beat until smooth. Add dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Fold in walnuts and 6 ounces coarsely chopped chocolate.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth top. Bake until top looks dry and tester inserted into center comes out with moist crumbs attached, about 30 minutes. Transfer pan to rack and cool completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with foil and store at room temperature.) Cut brownies into squares and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your brownies. Use a good-quality chocolate that you enjoy eating on its own.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your brownies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will dry out the brownies.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Caramel center brownies with walnuts are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like your brownies fudgy or cakey, with or without nuts, these brownies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
