How to Make Mother Lode Brownies Mrs Field's Cookbook
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Brownie Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the cooled chocolate mixture and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Caramel Layer: In a small, heavy saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup water over low heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Without stirring, continue to boil until the syrup turns a deep amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
- While boiling, periodically brush down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystallization.
- Carefully remove from heat and whisk in ½ cup heavy cream (it will bubble up!).
- Continue stirring over low heat until the caramel is smooth and all sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons unsalted butter until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly until spreadable.
- Assemble: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled brownies.
- Sprinkle with ½ cup macadamia nuts and 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Bake for 5 minutes to set the toppings.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
