Indulgent and rich, dark chocolate Salted Caramel Brownies. These brownies are insanely decadent and more suited to adults. They very dark and rich, ultra fudgy and gooey and creates a balance between dark chocolate, sweet caramel and saltiness.
YOU GUYS!! STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND MAKE THESE SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES. Sorry for yelling but seriously. I have not made something I have loved as much as these brownies. Ever.
Ok, that’s probably a lie but you get the idea…
These salted caramel brownies are amazing. The brownies themselves are based off my classic brownie recipe but with a few twists.
First we use dark, dark chocolate. To really get the rich and dark chocolate flavour you want to use a good quality dark chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa, like Lindt or Green and Blacks. Next we use mostly dutch processed cocoa.
What Is Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder?
The difference between dutch processed cocoa and regular cocoa powder is dutch cocoa has a pH balance of 7 which means it has been alkalized and has had the acidity taken away. This results in a darker tone and a smoother flavour. Perfect for these dark chocolate brownies.
Next we add in salted caramel chocolate. Now this chocolate is what really inspired these brownies. Whittakers, a New Zealand chocolate brand and the best chocolate EVER (not sponsored) came out with a new flavour that was Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate and is similar to that of a Caramello or Rolo block of chocolate.
Because I was so excited to try this chocolate and when I did, I fell in love, I placed 200g of it in these brownies. Yep. 200g!
What you result in is melting puddles of chocolate and oozing salted caramel all throughout the brownies. Add some extra salted caramel sauce throughout and you have yourself an indulgent, decadent, fit for Hollywood, adult dessert!
If you can’t get your hands on a salted caramel chocolate you can replace with Caramello or Rolos or any other caramel chocolate bar.
