But it got me thinking. We are all going to need a lot of chocolate to get through the uncertain future that now faces us, so I thought it was only right I share my very best brownie recipe as a gesture of goodwill.
Knock You Naked Brownies
1 package German chocolate cake mix (18.5 oz)[ I use Devil's Food cake]
1 cup chopped nuts
1/3 cup + 1/2 cup evaporated milk-divided
1/2 cup melted butter
60 vanilla caramels unwrapped (one 14 oz package) [ I use less, you
can't get that size package now]
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
PARCHMENT PAPER
In a large mixing bowl, combine dry cake mix, nuts, 1/3 cup
evaporated milk and melted butter. Press half of the batter into the
bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch glass baking dish (line with parchment paper first). Bake in a
preheated 350 degree oven for eight minutes.
In the microwave or top of a double boiler melt caramels with
remaining 1/2 cup evaporated milk. When caramel mixture is well
mixed, pour over baked layer. Cover with chocolate chips. Chill for
about an hour or until the caramel is hard. Press the remaining
batter on top of morsels. Return to oven and bake 28 minutes (or less
for gooier brownies). Let cool before cutting.
Note: This recipe supposedly originated at the Salt Creek Restaraunt
in Breckenridge, Colorado.
I love these things. And the refrigeration time definitely is important if you want nice smooth layers and ooey, gooey brownies!
