Hawaiian Caramac Brownie Wedges Recipes

HAWAIIAN BROWNIES {CHOCOLATE + MACADAMIA NUTS}

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch baking pan (I've only tested this recipe with a metal pan; you might want to decrease the oven temp to 325 if using glass). Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan or in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and 4 ounces chocolate. Melt over low heat (or microwave) until smooth, stirring often; don't let the mixture overheat. Let cool for a bit (lukewarm is fine, hot is not).
• Whisk in the eggs, salt and vanilla.
• Stir in the flour and macadamia nuts together until just combined.
• Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs (add time as necessary if they take longer to bake).
• Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely.
• For the fudge topping, combine the 6 ounces chocolate and half and half (or cream) in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted, smooth, and glossy.
• Set aside for the topping to cool completely, stirring often if you want to speed up the process and avoid a skin forming on the surface.
• When cool but still spreadable, use an offset spatula or knife to spread the topping evenly over the cooled brownies.
• Sprinkle macadamia nuts on top.
• Chill until ready to serve.

PECAN BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13 by 9-inch pan. In medium saucepan over low heat, melt margarine. Add sugar, vanilla and eggs; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt; mix well. Add chocolate and pecans. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until set. Cool. Cut into 36 bars.

HAWAIIAN CARAMAC BROWNIE WEDGES

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Combine caramels with cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute. (Stir to melt.) Drizzle over nuts and refrigerate while preparing Brownie. Brownie: Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate in large saucepan, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs, sugar, and liqueur. Stir in flour, salt, and semisweet chocolate. Pour over crust. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 60-65 minutes. Cool on rack. Refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan; cut into wedges. Brownies will be thick and fudgy, not like cake. Ganache: For ganache, heat whipping cream in medium saucepan until hot. Add chocolate and stir until completely blended. Pour ganache over top and sides of each wedge, covering completely. Refrigerate until set. Decorate with chocolate hibiscus leaves, macadamia nuts, and caramel drizzle, if desired. Editor's Extra: This is so rich and luscious. Serve small wedges with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Incredible!
