Look...I never claimed to be nice. These are evil. That being said, I don't think there is a woman alive who wouldn't want these at her bridal shower or birthday party...or hiding in her closet. Just saying...mama needs chocolate. Add salted caramel and I'm certain she'll be sweet. I'm a freak for the salty sweet combination anyway... genius delicious!
Here's how I made them. I used the
brownie recipe of glory and chopped a pound of toasted almonds into the brownie batter. Baked 12-15 minutes 325 degrees if cup is filled half way. When brownies come out of the oven and are still warm, take a ball of
Peter's Caramel the size of a quarter and roll it in your hands until it's the size of the top of your brownie. Put it on top of the brownie and let it melt. Sprinkle with a few crystals of
French Sea Salt.
Peter's Caramel is also what I used for the Popcorn ball topiary toppers. Melt 8 oz caramel in a microwave safe bowl with 1 tsp vanilla bean paste for 2 minutes. Add 1 bag of microwave butter popcorn of your choice and 1 cup of toasted almonds...stir to coat. Microwave the bowl with the popcorn coated with caramel for 2 more minutes.
Form into tight popcorn balls and put the end of a chop stick.
Put one end of the chop stick in the brownie...one end is already in the popcorn ball topiary...
Now you're good to go.
Always My Very Best,
Your Friend Chef Tess
