"A Month alongside The Barefoot Contessa" project.  To read all nigh the projection too to abide by the index of posts for the project, click here.

 

Salted Caramel treats direct keep been around for quite a while, but that doesn't brand them whatsoever less delicious!  I featured Salted Caramel Chocolate Cupcakes on this weblog ii years ago...  funny to await at those quondam photos!

I dear how the Barefoot Contessa featured Salted Caramel Brownies inward her novel mass - she doesn't reinvent the wheel.  She uses her ain classic brownie recipe for Outrageous Brownies, too then recommends that they move topped alongside a drizzle of store-bought caramel sauce, too then flaked body of body of water salt.  That's right, its non actually a novel recipe, but a novel excuse to brand brownies.... who doesn't demand that?!

I made a one-half batch of my favorite brownie recipe too made it inward an 8x8 pan.  My recipe is a combination of Martha Stewart's too the Barefoot Contessa's recipe.  It uses melted chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor.  I don't role extra chocolate chips, every bit Ina recommends, because I similar the brownies to move soft too smoothen inside, similar to chocolate truffles... every bit the cry I gave them suggests : Chocolate Truffle Brownies.  If you lot role a box mix, which is great, too, the entire box volition move non bad inward a 8x8 or 9x9 pan, but every bit I mentioned, I made one-half of a batch of my homemade recipe.

 

Brownies baked inward my favorite brownie pan - Golden Touch 8x8 Pan from Williams-Sonoma, $26.


I made my Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce - a lot easier than you lot would think.


Pour = Yum

Be certain to move generous alongside the salt.  Thirty seconds later...

It is a fleck besides early on for us to direct keep an actual Christmas Tree, but this Antique Fir Tree Print brings a fleck of classic christmas cheer to this corner.  The prints are thus cheap ($4-6) that it is slowly to switch them out every season.




I direct keep been thus excited to larn these candles inward stock.  I acquit them every yr and give them to my friends too identify unit of measurement every bit gifts at Thanksgiving.  Only available during the vacation season (the candle companionship alone makes i batch!) they are my favorite hostess gift to give during the holidays.
