Equipment
- 1 Chocolate dipping tool A fork will also work
- 1 9x13 baking pan Brownies are normally baked in a smaller pan, but this size will make it easier to cut your brownies into actual "fry" shapes
Ingredients
Brownies
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup cocoa
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
Salted Caramel Coating
- 10 oz salted caramel flavored melting candies approximately
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil approximately (see notes)
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips optional, for decoration
Instructions
Make Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Put solid butter in a large mixing bowl and melt in microwave.
- Add sugar and vanilla to melted butter. Whisk together until sugar is mostly dissolved in butter and butter is not hot anymore
- Add eggs, whisk until well combined
- Add dry ingredients, whisk until well combined
- Add batter to a 9 x 13 baking pan lined with parchment paper. Spread flat with a rubber spatula, make sure batter is spread throughout the whole area of the pan.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until brownies are set
- Allow brownies to cool completely.
- Carefully remove parchment paper and brownies from pan. Place brownies in the freezer for around 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Cut your brownies into shapes of fries with a sharp knife. You'll probably have to trim off the edges of your brownies to get a clean cut all around.
Make Salted Caramel Coating and Coat Brownie Fries
- Melt salted caramel candy melts according to package instructions
- Add a bit of coconut oil to the candy melts to make them a bit easier to work with. I don’t actually measure mine, but I would say a little less than a teaspoon for each 8 ounces of candy melts.
- Lay out a clean piece of parchment paper to rest your coated fries on.
- Carefully dip brownie fries in melted salted caramel, covering them completely, and remove with a fork or a dipping tool. Gently place flat on a piece of parchment paper.
- Allow fries to set completely before moving.
- Optional: Melt some dark chocolate in the microwave with a bit of coconut oil. Add melted chocolate to a squeeze top bottle and drizzle over your salted caramel brownie fries for decoration. Allow the chocolate drizzle to set again before moving your brownie fries.
Notes
**Coconut oil: I never measure my coconut oil to add to melting candies, so I never know exactly how much to say. I just add a little bit so that the melting candies have a texture that's a bit thinner. That way, the excess coating drips off on its own, and it makes the process of coating each brownie fry a little faster and easier.
**Chocolate for decoration: I also don't measure how much coconut oil I add to regular chocolate chips to make a chocolate drizzle. It's definitely more coconut oil than what you would add to melting candies, but also not a ton because we're not making a lot of drizzle. The same principle applies: You just want to water down the texture to make your drizzle actually drizzle.
