Amelie's Salted Caramel Brownies

"Amelie’s French Bakery in North Carolina has been known for their Salted Caramel Brownies since they first opened their doors. The recipe was printed in Charlotte Magazine and supplied by Amelie’s. I'm posting here for safe keeping. When making these brownies here are some important tips: * Be sure to use foil to line your pan. Be sure to butter the foil well ; really well, this way you can lift the entire sheet of brownies out of the pan and onto a cutting board to cut into bars, which will allow you to make cleaner cuts and make prettier brownies. * Do not overbake. It's suggested to bake the brownies for exactly 25 minutes, but keep an eye on them. * For the caramel, be sure to babysit the water and sugar mixture when boiling. It starts turning light brown after 5 minutes or so, and turns amber quickly after that. * Chill the brownies to set the caramel. * You may choose cut and place individual brownies in paper muffin/cupcake tin liners. It prevent brownies from sticking together. ******PLEASE NOTE: TIMES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY******"

directions

  • Brownies:.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with foil and then butter well.
  • In the top of a double boiler over medium heat, melt chocolate and butter, being sure the water in the bottom of the double boiler does not touch the top pan. Stir chocolate and butter until completely melted. Then stir in sugar. Blend well. Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, lightly whisk eggs. Stir eggs into chocolate mixture. Then add flour, stirring until completely blended. Spread batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Completely cool brownies in pan. Pour caramel glaze over brownies and cool in fridge until caramel sets. Slice into bars, about 2 inches square.
  • Salted Caramel Glaze:.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream until hot, but not boiling. In a separate tall saucepan, combine sugar and water. Place over medium-high heat. Do not stir as sugar dissolves and mixture reaches a dark amber stage. Add cream, butter, and salt. Stir gently until mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and add gelatin, stirring to combine. Use immediately.

  1. I live close enough to Amelie’s to have had 3 SCB in the past week, but super glad you shared this recipe, because I am going to use the salted caramel on top of homemade marshmallows, and enrobe them in chocolate :)
     
  2. I haven't made this yet but after looking at the reviews I have the perfect Carmel recipe. http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/caramel-pretzel-bites. This is a great recipe but the Carmel is easy to make and delicious. If you don't have a candy thermometer keep a bowl of ice water next to you to test the soft ball stage. When you drop a small amount into the water pick it and and rub it between your fingers. This will give you and idea of what the consistency will be. cook until you get a nice caramel color.
     
  3. Caramel recipe was way too thick, almost like taffy. Brownie was perfect. Had to pull off the caramel and just eat the brownie part. Disappointing. Will try another caramel recipe.
     
  4. Didnt work for me either! The brownie layer was delish. But the caramel was sticky and i coukd not cut through it without it sticking to the knife( i heated the knife too) flavor was good but definately not like Amelies!
     
  5. This didn't work for me. The brownie layer was delicious, but I thought there was too much caramel and mine was very, very sticky and stringy. Maybe I didn't have the right kind of gelatin powder.
