Hi everyone, I have a question. I have made the above recipe at numerous shows however, it never appears to be done in the 22 minutes. Should I let it sit in the pan for a little bit. I love gooey things but I think some people don't think it is done. HELP ME PLEASE. I am making it again on Monday night.

I tell you I have lots of hosts loving the Chocolate bliss Show. We make the brownies, cool and cream chocolate fondue and chocolate martinis.

THANK YOU! Brenda:)
 
I wish I could do that show. Not many people want a chocolate show. When I made the brownies at a show, it didn't take as long as the recipe said it would. It could have been the oven. It was an old one. Does the toothpick test work if you find a spot w/o a rolo?

I have done the recipe numerous times. I do the toothbpick test and it comes clean. It is just very hard to cut and very mushy. Brenda
 
I agree with Brenda K. It is just one of those recipes where the brownies have so many added ingredients that they don't cut squarely (sp?) and are very gooey. The last time I made them, I only put in 1/2 a cup of the chocolate chips in the mix, and it was a little better, but not much.

Good Luck, and just tell everyone they are Sloppy-Brownies! :)
 
Serve them with ice cream and they are so yummy and gooey - never had any complaints at my shows!
 
I made them at one show and they were a hit. Every time I added chocolate or caramel (lots of times) I said how ooey-gooey these were.

They were ooey-gooey and everyone loved 'em!

- I did find it hard to put the toothpick in w/out hitting chocolate chips! -

JAE, you don't put the Rolos in before you bake it - they go in after you pull it out of the oven.
 
I love these things - they're like crack!
I made these at my first 2 shows and ev eryone loved them.
I also brought some to work one day and people went nuts for them.

They are a little goo-ier than normal brownies, but they've got that brown sugar and chocolate chips in them. Worth the mess ;)

I usually use a knife to scrape it off the spatula and they come out looking ok.

Oh yeah. It's been a while since I made these brownies. September 11, I think.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies are done?

What should I do if my brownies are undercooked after 22 minutes?

If your brownies are undercooked, simply return them to the oven and bake for an additional 2-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

Why do my Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies look different from the recipe?
