Salted Caramel Brownies

I do not like cakey brownies. I do not like hard brownies. I like squidgy, goey brownies. I don't really like nutty brownies, cheesecake layered brownies or blondies. I've got my favourite recipe (base) and I've kind of stuck to it, recently I've been playing around with Japanese flavours, miso caramel concoctions and yuzu and cocoa nib... it started when a friend suggested I bake these brownies for her wedding from the Poires Au Chocolat blog and thought it wouldn't be the end of the world to loosen up a bit and try a new flavour..these are squidgy, salty caramel bites of sheer joy. And if I can tempt you with a follow up of fudge that not only melts on the tongue, but sings...scroll on

You must try these and don't let the pan size stop you if you don't have one, I just shoved mine up one end and held the brownie in with some moulds and an egg carton. I use this MAGICAL stuff from lakeland, its foil on one side and wax paper on the other... it works a dream from baking brownies to steaming fish. Buy here

 So from salted caramel brownies to salted caramel fudge...
