This month we’re getting our lunchbox menus ready for Back to School.
It can be rough enough settling into a new school year. Give them something to look forward to to break up their day. Kids that pack their lunch look for a little special something in the box or bag. I always packed my daughter some cookies, Rice Krispies bars or cake. Nothing too messy to eat.
That was then. This is now. In the day of sani-wipes everywhere, we can splurge and get a bit on ya! So remember to pack a wet nap in the bag!
Salted Caramel Brownies make a good after school treat (or during school treat for Mom and Dad). These brownie bars are super easy to make. I cheated on the caramel sauce by using caramel candies and a bit of cream. You can use jarred sauce or make your own!
I go heavy on the sea salt. Sprinkle on whatever kind and amount you like.
Food for Thought…What’s your favorite brownie or bar? Are you a traditionalist with chocolate? Nuts or no nuts? Blondies? I’d love to hear your thoughts in a comment below!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 25 soft caramel candies, about a cup (I used Kraft)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Cool.
- Stir in sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in flour, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Spread batter into a prepared 8x8-inch pan. (I use greased parchment paper) Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool completely before adding caramel. Overnight is best.
- When brownies are completely cooled, prepare easy caramel sauce. Place caramel and cream in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stir. Repeat until smooth.
- Spread evenly over brownie. Sprinkle with sea salt. Chill completely before cutting.
