You know what? I am copying this recipe to remind my just 1 week in college son who I am. He adores your cocoa brownies, so this should be a cinch too. I need these now!! I just bought a bag of chocolate chunks and now I know exactly what I’ll be using them for. These blondies look amazing and I love how simple they are to make. August 27, 2019 From the pictures, it looks like you are making the caramel is a saute pan. I’ve been afraid to make caramels and have always heard that when you add the cream that it will splatter like crazy. Does that happen? Is a saute pan with the low sides OK for this without making a big mess? August 21, 2019

To start, I like to line my brownie pan with parchment paper leaving an overhang on 2 sides. This helps to easily remove the brownies from the pan and create clean slices. Pre-heat oven to 400° F. Cover an 11×17 baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Set aside. Especially when the homemade candy in question involves chocolate, caramel, and pretzels. It's the triple combination guaranteed to sink my willpower to its knees. First make the base. Cream together the sugar and butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth. Mix in the flour and salt until a dough is formed. It will be crumbly but the ingredients will be evenly dispersed. Firmly press the mixture into the base of the tin and press the pretzels on top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until pale golden on top. Remove from the oven and set aside while you make the caramel. You may not know, but most marshmallows contain beef or pork gelatine, which makes them unsuitable for vegetarians. However if you use gelatine free marshmallows like I have, then the recipe will be suitable for vegetarians. My favourite brand is Freedom Mallows, but there are now several gelatine free brands available. Can this recipe be made gluten free?Does anyone have any idea on how long these might keep? Looking to do them for Christmas and trying to get baking done early, I just don’t want the pretzels to go soft, or have problems. Could these handle 2 weeks in sealed Tupperware? Easy to make and very delicious. I used regular semi sweet chocolate chips and sprinkled a little extra flaky salt on top of the finished batter before baking. The first day the pretzels were not distinguishable from the cookie. The second day they were more crunchy. The caramel was chewy and not hard at all after baking. I will be making these bars again!! August 23, 2019 If you want to cover the caramel completely with melted chocolate instead of drizzling, use 250g melted chocolate and pour over evenly) Once the butter has melted, stop stirring and increase the heat just to medium to bring the caramel to barely a simmer, but not a rapid boil. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue to cook without stirring on medium-low to medium heat until the caramel comes to 236°F. Any advice what I did wrong? I have a trusty digital instant read thermometer and everything. My only change was doubling the ingredients because I wanted to make in a 9 x 13 pan. August 28, 2019

OMG, I have always loved you Deb, but the fact that you just quoted not just Parent Trap, but PARENT TRAP 2 makes me love you even more. I’m pretty sure about 5 people have seen that movie and you’re one of them! Yayeeee! You must be Deb’s publicist. I can’t think of any other reason that a reader of a free blog would have expectations such as yours for how Deb (a stranger to you, most likely) uses her time and her blog. August 21, 2019 In a mixing bowl, stir together popcorn, pretzels, marshmallows and salted caramel fudge. Then in a pan on a low heat, melt together milk chocolate, butter and golden syrup. Leave it it to cool for 10 minutes. Learn more about what each cookie category does and choose your settings (toggle right to opt in or left to opt out).

With what? Please correct this. With chocolate or carmel? i never make blondies, because what’s the point of chocolateless brownies? but the caramel, saltiness, and chocolate combo here sold me and i shall never doubt again. Beat for 4-6 minutes on medium-high speed. (as fast as you can mix without it spattering out of the bowl) Salted Caramel Pretzel Bars — Are you like me?Do you love those sweets that are a little on the salty side? Sweet & Salty treats are among my most favorite. Think … what’s your favorite candy bar? Does it have a little of both? The best of both worlds you might say? If it does — we have that in common! Well, today’s latest recipe falls into that category. BUT first I have to tell you a little about what’s in store for you this week!

High altitude cooking: I live in California almost at sea level. If you live at higher elevations, the rule of thumb for candy making is to decrease your target temperature by 2 degrees fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet you are above sea level. I do not have a lot of caramel experience but my guess is you are getting it too hot and it’s burning the sugar while it’s still melting. I’d go a little cooler than whatever temp you’re doing, but be patient about the timing. Ten years ago: Summer Pea and Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad, Lobster Rolls, and Espresso Chiffon Cake with Fudge Frosting cup crumbed pretzels (this is easiest done in a food processor, but you could also crush them in a bag with a rolling pin or something!) Prep time: 45 minutes. Bake time: 20-25 minutes. Set time: 3 hours. Lasts: 1+ week, in a fridge or at room temperature.Ummmm I knew I had to have these right away. I am work, but I logged on to see hoe easy this recipe was. And you know what I’m doing tonight! August 20, 2019 Start by making the caramel first so it has time to cool and set up a bit before pouring it over the bark. I melted the caramel in the microwave a little at a time and then just stirred it until it was warm. It was awesome!
