Brownie variations

So here are the different variations that you can make of my earlier post about brownies, which can be found here, http://perezbaking.blogspot.com/2016/02/brownies On that post I have the m&m peanut version, but here are the other versions I've made so far. 

Skor

Follow the recipe from my brownies post. Once the batter is all mixed add in three (or more if you really want the skor chunks) bars of crushed up skor pieces. I placed mine in a ziplock bag and just hammered them until I was satisfied with the size of the chunks. Then mix them into the batter and bake them as usual. Once mine were cooled I added some caramel drizzle on top. 

Salted caramel

For these a made my own caramel sauce, which is also the sauce that I drizzled on the skor brownies. So first I'll tell you how to make the caramel sauce. 

First pour a cup of sugar into a pot. Cook on med-high heat, mixing frequently. 

You want the sugar to break down and turn into a liquid like this. 

Remove the pot from heat and add in 6 tablespoons of butter. The butter should be chopped up into smaller pieces. When you put the butter in the pot it is going to bubble, that's fine just mix it in. 

Once it is completely combined add in 1/2 a cup of whipping cream and 1 tsp of sea salt. (If you are doing just a plain caramel sauce don't add the salt) 

Put the pot back on the burner and heat for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Then remove from heat and let cool for 15-20 minutes. 

Mix up the brownie mix (I added the chocolate chips to this one) and put half of it in a pan, then pour most of the cooled caramel sauce over top of the mix. Add the remaining brownie mix to the pan. Bake the brownies and cool. Once cooled drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce on the brownies. Cut and enjoy! 

Red velvet cheesecake brownies

Make the brownie mix as usual, but add in a tablespoon of red food colouring. I used the gel colouring so that the brownies didn't become to liquidy. If they aren't showing a red tint then add in a bit more food colouring until you are satisfied with the colour. Pour the mix into your pan. Then put a 250g brick of cream cheese in a bowl, mix in 1/3 cup of sugar. Once combined add 1/2 tsp of vanilla and 1 egg. Mix well. Then spoon out drops of the cream cheese mixture and put them on top of the brownie. Once it is all spooned out, take a knife and swirl the cream cheese around. Bake the brownies and then let cool on the counter. Cut and enjoy! 

Those are all the variations of the brownies I made. I still want to make a cookie dough one, Oreo, peanut butter, s'more and any other kind I can think of but those will have to be for another day! I hope you all enjoy these brownies as much as my friends and family did! They really are amazing!!
