Hot Fudge Brownies with Salted Caramel Glaze

Jeepers, I have some brutal fans!  When I posted an innocent little photo of these yummilicious brownies on Facebook yesterday, an unsuspecting onlooker might have thought I had committed sins against all 10 of the commandments or something.  People were threatening to take my first born child if I didn't get the recipe posted ASAP, so I'm not gonna go into any chatter about these.  I'm just going to leave you with one itty bitty word of advice before I give you the recipe...

Put your stretchy pants on before you consume these brownies!

Hot Fudge Brownies with Salted Caramel Glaze

WHAT YOU\'LL NEED

    FOR THE BROWNIES
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup unsweeteend cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon. baking powder
  • 2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
  • 13 ounces (a little more than a cup and a half) granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons. pure vanilla extract
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce
  • FOR THE SALTED CARAMEL GLAZE
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 ounces (4 Tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon sea or kosher salt, divided

HOW TO MAKE IT

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9.5 x 11 pan (or line with foil or parchment paper and then grease, if desired - This will make it easier to remove the brownies from the pan.)

In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In large microwavable bowl, melt butter in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Add sugar & vanilla, and whisk until well-combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add cocoa mixture and whisk until fully combined.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the hot fudge until it's smooth and a pourable consistency. Stir into batter. Pour into the prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs. (If you like your brownies really fudgy, slightly underbake them) Allow them to cool completely.

FOR THE GLAZE

In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the heavy cream - but DO NOT boil! Keep it warm.

In a separate medium saucepan, combine sugar & water but DO NOT STIR. Place over medium-high heat & bring to a boil. Cook until mixture turns an amber color (about 5 minutes).

Remove from heat and add warm cream, butter, and 1/2 of the salt. Stir gently until smooth & well combined. Pour over the cooked brownies and use an offset spatula to spread it evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with remaining kosher salt.

Allow glaze to set before cutting and serving.
