Oreo and Salted Caramel Sauce Brownie

Brownies are big time favorite at my place, it is easy to make, uses up all the stocked up chocolate bars and allows one to experiment with flavors, left overs can be used as late night munching, clubbed with some icecreams, or stuffed under a trifle. So many lovely things can happen when you have a brownie at your disposal.

I am planning to share 3 recipes of brownies this time. Starting this one with classic Oreo and salted caramel version. The twist is in using salt which really balances the sweetness.




Ingredients
3/4 cup dark chocolate grated or chopped
1/2 cup milk chocolate grated or chopped

1/4 cup cocoa powder 

1 cup All purpose flour

1 1/2 cup butter 

1 1/2 cup caster sugar

1 packet dark oreo cookies (10 cookies)
4 eggs / 1 cup thick curd
2 tbsp baking powder
½ tspn baking soda

for topping
1 cup caramel sauce 

Method

1) Mix the chocolates and melt them in a clean glass bowl . Either use double boiler method (keep the glass bowl on top of steaming pot of water or microwave in flashes of 30 seconds)

2) Mix the chocolate to make a sauce. 

3) Mix the APF with cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Sift it well

4) Cream the butter and sugar to form a creamy mixture. 
5) Gradually add the curd or eggs and whisk it well  Add vanilla essence 
6) Add the chocolate (not too hot) to this mixture and mix well
7) Now add the flour mixture and fold it gradually.
8) Crush 2-3 cookies at this point and add to the batter
9) Line a square tin of 12 inch size with parchment paper
10) Pour half the batter and spread it out 
11) Put the remaining cookies to cover the surface
12) Pour the remaining batter on top
13) Bake this at 180c for 20 min. Pour the caramel sauce and sprinkle rock salt on top and return to bake for 10 more min


The saltiness balances the sweet oreo filling and the fudgy chocolate brownie does it all.
