Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake! Check at 25 Minutes.
5 to 6 oz's Caramel Sauce
2 to 3 tsps. Flaked Sea Salt (Maldon)
As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it's pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.
You will want to find true caramel sauce rather than a de leche, which has a lot of milk or cream added. Fran's can be ordered at franschocolates.com. |
