Millionaire Caramel Poke Brownies
This is a Foodies of SA recipe This is literally one of the best brownies you'll have! I swapped the peanuts for hazelnuts and it gave a very lux feel
Ingredients
For the brownies:
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 2 cups Selati Golden Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 342 g butter melted
- 6 eggs
For the caramel:
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup Selati White Sugar
- 1/3 cup Selati Golden Brown Sugar
- 1/3 cup golden syrup
- 1/3 cup condensed milk
- ½ tsp salt
For the topping:
- 2 slabs 100g each dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- ½ cup lightly salted peanuts roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190°C and line a 26x20cm baking dish with baking paper, allowing it to hang over the sides.
- To prepare the brownie batter, sift together the cake flour and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl. Add the Selati Golden Brown Sugar and salt and mix well.
- Whisk in the melted butter and eggs until just combined into a rich chocolate brownie batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly in the dish.
- While the brownie is baking, combine all the caramel ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine.
- Microwave on high for about 7 minutes, stopping to stir every minute. Remove the caramel from the microwave and set aside to cool slightly. *Note: We used a 1000W microwave. For a 700W microwave, microwave for about 9 minutes
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes into the brownie and pour the cooled caramel over the top. Allow to set in the fridge for 30 minutes - 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stopping to stir every 20 seconds, until melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer and, before setting, sprinkle over the peanuts.
- Allow to set for about 15 minutes before slicing. Lift the entire sheet of brownies out using the baking paper. Using a sharp knife dipped in warm water, slice into equal-sized squares. Serve and ENJOY!
