Ingredients
Scale
- 210g unsalted butter
- 210g dark chocolate
- 3 medium eggs (50g each)
- 280g caster sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 50g cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 30g golden syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 240g caramel chocolate (2 bars of cadbury caramel chocolate)
- 50g icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to Gas mark 4/180°C/160°C Fan and line a 9-inch baking tin with baking parchment.
- Melt the butter and dark chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly (around 2-3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs on high for 10 minutes until light and fluffy, preferably using a stand mixer or electric hand whisk.
- Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, mixing on low speed until combined. If using a stand mixer, switch to a paddle attachment; if using a whisk, fold with a spatula.
- Add in the vanilla, golden syrup, and sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the mixture. Gently fold until just combined, without over-mixing.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the lined tin, ensuring it's even. Lay the caramel bars on top in an even layer, then cover with the remaining brownie batter.
- Bake the brownies for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft; they should have a slight wobble.
- Refrigerate the brownies for 3-4 hours, or ideally, overnight to achieve a fudgy texture.
- Lift the brownies from the tin and slice them into squares.
- For a decorative finish, use a heart-shaped stencil on top, dust with icing sugar, and then remove the stencil.
Notes
Ensure not to over-bake the brownies to maintain their fudgy texture.
Chilling the brownies overnight is key to achieving the best flavor and texture.
You can substitute the caramel chocolate with any variety of your choice if preferred.
