Tunnocks Caramel Brownies

Ingredients

• 200g Unsalted Butter
• 300g Caster Sugar
• 200g Dark Chocolate
• 3 Large Eggs
• 100g Plain Flour
• 30g Cocoa Powder
• 10 Thunnocks Caramel Wafers
• 300g Carnations Caramel (or homemade caramel sauce!)
• Salt to taste (optional)

Method

1. Line a 9"x9" baking tin. Heat your oven to 180°C (350°F) standard / 160°C (320°F) fan. Add the caramel to a bowl and stir to loosen it up, add salt to taste, if desired.
2. Break the dark chocolate in to chunks and then microwave in 20 second bursts until smooth.
3. Melt the butter in a microwave in 20 seconds bursts until smooth, and then add the melted butter to a large bowl along with the caster sugar. Whisk (I use a hand whisk!) the melted butter and sugar together for 1 minute.
4. Add the eggs one by one and whisk thoroughly. You should have a pale smooth mixture.
5. Gently fold in the melted dark chocolate, and then sieve in the flour and cocoa powder. Fold the mixture gently until no flour pockets remain.
6. Pour half of the brownie mixture in to the lined tin, then spread on half the caramel sauce. Press the caramel wafers in to the brownie mix, then pour on the remaining half of the brownie mixture. Smooth out until flat. Finally dollop on the remaining caramel sauce and swirl in using a knife or cake skewer.
7. Cook the brownies for 32-35 mins, or until the middle has a very slight wobble and a toothpick/skewer test has a few wet crumbs. Don’t overbake or it’ll lose it's fudgeyness and become cakey!
8. Once baked, leave your brownies to cool in the tin completely. Cut in to portions, then enjoy!

Notes

• - Once cooled, store the brownies in an airtight container where they'll keep for up to 1 week (try storing them in the fridge if you want them to be super fudgy!).
• - The caramel wafers make these brownies firmer to cut than some others - if you're storing these brownies in the fridge I recommend keeping them at room temperature for 30 mins prior to cutting so that they're less tricky to cut as the caramel wafers aren't as solid!
