How to Make Macadamia Nut Caramel Squares
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Grease and flour a square baking tin (approximately 20x20cm).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the chopped macadamia nuts.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking tin.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the caramel topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and condensed milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool slightly before pouring the caramel topping evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle with extra chopped macadamia nuts (optional).
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set before serving.
