ULTIMATE MINI BROWNIES

Hey Ya'll I'm back with another post. So yesterday I made brownies and to my surprise they came out so freaking good. I had to share this recipe with ya'll. I actually got a Ghirardelli Caramel Brownie of chocolate bar for Christmas in my gift bag and although I like chocolate; I am more of a sour candy type of girl. So I was thinking of how I would use this and just like a light bulb that goes off I thought bomb brownies. This is actually what the company uses in their brownies too! so lets get started with the ingredients. 

INGREDIENTS:
 Brownie Mix
  1/2 cup butter
  1/2 cup sugar (room temp)
  2 eggs (room temp)
  3 oz box Nestle Sem-sweet chocolate morals
  3.45 oz bar Ghirardelli Caramel Brownie bar
  1 tsp vanilla
  1 cup flour
  1/2 cup pecans
  

Ok So first things first be sure to pre-heat the oven to 350` F. We are going to take the first 2 ingredients and mix them together until they are well incorporated. after that then you add the eggs 1 at a time. NOTE: be sure to scrape the side so all the ingredients get mixed together. 

After we do that. then we can that it rest while we get to the fun part. Which is the Chocolate!!

We are going to start by making our own double boiler. Now if you already have one that is fine. To be honest I don't see the point in buy one. It's just added space. Ok so we take a pot and fill it with water a little less then half way. Place it on the stove and let the water come to a small boil. once our water is boiling then we take a bowl (make sure the boil is cooking safe). We want the bowl to be able to sit on top of the pot rim so it will create steam.

Now you add the Nestle chocolate morals and let it start to melt.

Ok so now we are going to act like James from Willie Wonka and open up of Ghirardelli Golden chocolate bar ha ha. 

We then break up the chocolate in small pieces for it to easily melt. you can use a Knife if you want but, I will to show my chocolate some love!

We are going to add that to rest of the chocolate and just a whisk to melt it. 

Once it has melted. we then want to add 1 tsp of vanilla to mix and bomb we done with this part!

This part goes by fast so make sure to pay close attention. All we do is add the melted chocolate to the butter/sugar mixture. Be sure to blend that very well. Once blended then, we are going to add the flour all at once. blended that until well incorporated. and we are almost done...

Now it's time to add the Pecans! oh how I love chocolate and nuts together! Just go ahead a mix that really quick and bomb our brownie mix is done!

take the mixture and with a spoon we are going to drop the brownie mixture into our 4 oz mason jars! Aren't they so cute! I love these mason jars! they are easy to clean out, portable and cute to make a  party especially for New Yours. NOTE: but enough mixture to just cover the top of the jar. 

The mixture will be enough for 5 mason jars. If you are need to make more then just double the ingredients and will come out with 10 jars. Plop these babies in a 350 F oven for 60 minutes.

This is what they look like after 60 minutes of being in the oven. Now the way you can tell if they are done is pretty much how you like you brownies. I like mine between a cakey and fudgey brownie. If you like you'res more cakey then you will cook 10 minutes extra. if you like you'res more fudgey then you will cook 10 minutes less. 

Now I made a quick apple caramel topping with the almonds that you see on top of the brownies. For this part you can do What ever topping you like!

I hope you enjoyed this post! For any questions leave a comment and I will reapply. I hope you like these brownies as much as I did!
