Salted Caramel Brownies
A now famous recipe that appears in For Foods Sake. Eating a piece of this could possibly change your attitude about dieting. FOR EVER.
This recipe appears in For Food's Sake and is seriously so good I have banned myself from making them unless I have a LOT of people arriving to completely demolish them so I don't have to. They are chewy and salty sweet and so good you will find that you become addicted very quickly.
I object to purchasing a salted caramel anything in a cafe or where ever and then finding that in fact, the salt part is entirely missing or so slight that you just feel overwhelmed by the caramel sweetness. So don't be shy with the pink salt flakes, which are essential to this recipe. Do not use ordinary salt. If you cannot source the Murray River salt flakes, HERE please at least use something like Celtic salt or Kosher salt flakes. NEVER use a table salt. Not for this recipe or any other! (Like my butter and vanilla habits, my salt habit is essential to all of my recipes tasting amazing!)
