ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (60 percent to 70 percent cacao)
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter, no substitutions
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
- 1 1⁄2 cups almonds, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1⁄3 cup heavy cream, warmed
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 8- by 8-inch baking pan. Line with foil; grease foil.
- In 4-quart saucepan, combine chocolates, 4 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Melt on medium-low 4 minutes or until smooth, stirring. Remove from heat; stir in 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla. Stir in eggs, 1 at a time, until well blended.
- Into same pan, sift cornstarch and cocoa; fold to incorporate. Stir batter vigorously for at least 1 minute or until batter thickens slightly and begins to pull away from sides of pan. Fold in 1 cup chopped nuts. Spread evenly into prepared baking pan. Bake 25 to 27 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from edge comes out almost clean. Cool in pan on wire rack.
- While brownie cools, in 4-quart saucepan, stir remaining 3/4 cup sugar, water, corn syrup, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook on medium-high 9 to 12 minutes or until sugar dissolves and mixture is amber, swirling occasionally to get even color.
- Working quickly, remove from heat and add cream. Once bubbling begins to subside, stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until incorporated. Stir in remaining chopped nuts.
- Pour caramel over cooled brownie, tilting pan to spread evenly. Let stand at least 2 hours or until caramel has set. Cut into 1-inch squares. Store brownies in airtight container, layered with waxed paper, at room temperature up to 2 days.
