Nutty Caramel Brownies: A Delicious Twist on a Classic Treat

[RossDeb2]

I'm making this at a show tomorrow evening - following the recipe, ( 1 pkg, 454g) are the brownies supposed to be thin? I did a trial run making the brownies, but one box barely covered the large bar pan. Should I use two boxwes? When they were finished baking, they seemed awfully thin? is this the way they are supposed to be? I can't eat chocolate, so I was unable to taste them. I am used to seeing brownies as the thick squares, not thin like this.

the recipe calls for the medium bar pan

Is this the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies? the one with rolo's/nuts, etc on top?That's done in the large bar pan, and I'm not sure what the 454 g equals, but my recipes says 18-21 oz. package. I've not made them in a little while, but they aren't any thicker than the bar pan itself...a little thinner- then you add the stuff on top.
Using the bar pan, you won't be able to get anything very thick.

Ya - they're thin.... ish.

I do mine in the Rectangular baker and just leave them i for about 6 min more(depending on the oven) They turn out great!

did you use a Family size box of brownies? It's made in Lg Bar Pan but make sure you have the right size brownie mix. The brownies are average in size but still have room to squish the rolos in!

Yeah, check the package size. I bought one once not realizing it was meant for an 8x8 (thankfully just for home use, and not for a show or special occasion baking need ). Also, after spreading it around, I hold the bar pan and kind of shake it a little to get the batter to level out. Since it is pretty thin, I've had times where it was REALLY thin in some spots and overcooked. Also, watch the cooking time. I have to really be sure I don't overcook brownies made in the bar pan. They don't necessarily burn, but they do get hard.

A regular size brownie mix will be a little thinner than you are used to in the large bar pan. But they should turn out fantastic!

 

[chefann]

The 454g size is correct. The brownies will be thin, so make sure you spread them evenly. If I remember correctly, the recipe calls for them to be made "cake style," which adds an extra egg to the batter. That adds a little bit to the total amount of batter. They do rise during baking (esp. with the extra egg), so you won't be serving chocolate pancakes.

Mmmm, chocolate pancakes. Sorry.

When I do these I use 2 brownie mixes and it makes them a little thicker. I like mine thicker and not thin.
