Brownie Caramel Chocolate Squares

Thank you Barbara, Angie Vanessa Linda Christine for hosting the party Dishing It and Digging It and thank you for the feature of my Filipino Afritada. Thank you Barb for bringing the good news

How would you like a brownie with caramel and chocolate? The combination is interestingly good; brownie,caramel and chocolate. Certainly you will not pass on this. When I first bake these bars, I never thought its gonna be that good but gosh, they're heavenly ! As early as November my mind would go to the bars and squares that I love to bake for our festive consumption at home or for giveaway to the people that I deemed worthy of my time and effort. Lol!

These brownie squares are so good that past holiday season already and yet the memories on your palate lingers on. It will also be nice if you add some kick on it like rum or brandy. Last two years ago I discovered this locally made Cacao Chocolates from the Philippines and I began to use it in most of my chocolate baking sprees and I love it. I made Brownies then and my son gave some to his local friends here in Singapore. The verdict- it was so good that they remember the aftermath of its taste...strong but delicious, addictive and not so sweet.

Ingredients:

For the brownie:

1 cup butter,cubed

1/4 cup cocoa

1/4 cup black cocoa powder

1 1/2 cup white sugar

2 large eggs

2/3 cup butter

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tbsp light corn syrup

1 can condensed milk

1/4 cup cornstarch dispersed in 3 tbsp water

In a saucepan,combine all ingredients except cornstarch with water. Cook until thick and caramel in color for about 30 minutes, then stir in cornstarch with water,mix until caramel is thick.

For the chocolate topping:

1 cup chopped dark chocolate

1 tbsp butter

3 tbsp heavy cream

Combine all in a dish. Microwave until just half melted.Stir until melted and combined.Set aside.

Direction:

Prepare a square baking pan 8x12x2inch,line it with aluminum foil.
Spray with oil or smear with butter.

In a saucepan, put butter, cocoa powder and tablea .Stir over low heat until melted and smooth.

Remove from heat. Add sugar and stir until incorporated. Add vanilla and eggs,one at a time.

Stir in the flour until just combined.Spread the mixture in a ready baking pan and bake at 180 
at 180 ( 350 ) for 30 minutes. Let it cool.
Once caramel is done,immediately pour over the baked brownie.Chill for about an hour in the            fridge.Then proceed on making the topping.
Spread over the caramel layer and chill until set.You will have about 24 squares.
Note:Caramel is best done after baking the brownie.If you want a better squared cut,use a sharp        knife dip in hot water, dry then cut.

I tried to cut nice and clean but sorry I am not good in that area. I tried my best not to eat while on the process of slicing but the chocolate seems to melt on my fingers. I realized I must go ahead and try, why not..grab and eat them.
