Millionaire Brownies

Mom and I saw something similar on a T.V. show that featured a bakery that makes them. We both agreed that I’d have to post the recipe, because they looked so incredible! (This post may contain Amazon affiliate links for your convenience, at NO additional cost to you.)

Even though I couldn’t find a recipe on the internet, the description was enough to recreate something pretty spectacular! Instead of a layer of shortbread, mom baked up a batch of fudgy brownies from a recipe on King Arthur’s website.

The brownies are topped with a layer of warm caramel, a layer of ganache, and some chopped pecans. I like to use a straight sided baking pan like this one from Amazon.  (Affiliate link)

The original millionaire brownies have chopped hazelnuts on them, which I’m sure is delicious, but I prefer pecans.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 3 3/4 ounces Dutch cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces 2 sticks unsalted butter
• 15 3/4 ounces sugar
• 6 1/4 ounces Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
• 12 ounces chocolate chips
• 1 pound caramel squares
• 1 Tablespoon heavy cream for caramel layer
• 2 cups chopped nuts pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan
2. Line pan with parchment paper, for easy removal.
3. Crack eggs into a bowl, add cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
4. In a medium-sized saucepan set over low heat, melt butter, then add sugar and stir to combine. Continue to heat, just until mixture is hot (about 110°F), but not bubbling; it'll become shiny as you stir. Heating the mixture to this point will dissolve more of the sugar, which will yield a shiny top crust on your brownies.
