As lovely as it is to look at and play in, after a while you want nothing more than to scuttle inside, and warm up by the fire with a steaming mug of something and a slice of something delicious to eat.
These brownies were just what was required. Rich and chocolaty, topped with a thin drizzle of sweet caramel and the occasional crunch from a light sprinkling of sea salt. Providing a wonderful sweet ‘n’ salty taste against the gooey chocolate brownie.
These are best eaten within 2 days and at their optimum when eaten still ever so slightly warm from the oven, which I assure you wasn’t a problem!
Chocolate Salted Caramel Brownies
115g butter
150g dark chocolate 60-70%
25g cocoa powder
3 eggs
200g caster sugar
100g gluten free Doves plain flour
1 tsp sea salt crystals
50g toffee or caramel sauce (approx)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Line a 9inch square pan with silicone paper, letting it rise up two of the sides as well. Grease lightly with vegetable oil.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Break up the chocolate and add to the pan, stirring constantly over a low heat until the chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the sugar. Scatter over the flour and fold in until incorporated.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
Drizzle the toffee sauce in strips over the surface of the brownie and drag a skewer the opposite direction, across the strips, to create a feather effect. Sprinkle a little of the sea salt over the surface.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until the brownies form a light crisp surface and feel slightly firm to the touch. A skewer inserted should come out with a few sticky crumbs attached, but no molten mixture.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before carefully lifting out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Cut into 12 squares

Delicious! Love how you can see the little flecks of sea salt on top!
Salt and caramel anything is a winner, and by adding chocolate you have got a taste of heaven. Very droolworthy!
Wow, what a stunning combination! They look utterly gorgeous!
I have so many brownie post lined up to make, but I think this one might just have jumped the queue. I love the combination of salt and caramel and it may surprise you to know, but I love brownies too ;-) Yours look delicious.
I know thatwe are no where near eachother location wise, but we too got snow. Infact we got so much snow that they decided to cancle school on Friday (which, beleive me, does NOT happen often at all because apparently Coloradians are supposed to be built for that kind of weather :/).
On my Friday off I baked as well, but I totally wish I had been this recipe. I could go for a brownie right now :)
Caramel Brownies have got to be THE BEST INVENTION ever ;0)
These look like particularly fine specimens!
Absolutely delish!
chocolate and caramel are a magic combination - and I wish all nuisance weather could have a touch of magic about it just like snow
Wow, nice! I just made some GF brownies a few weeks back using Pamelas and I didnt care for them too much. They were very cakey and not as chewy as we'd like them. I have never heard of GF Dove flour...where do you get it? :) I will have to try it!

I agree - the only thing I like about the snow is the quiet and stillness that accompanies it
These brownies look a very good reason to stay indoors!
