3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks)
4 oz unsweetened baking choc.
2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup nuts, chopped
10 caramels (kraft)
Directions
In large bowl, melt butter and chocolate in microwave for 5 minutes,
or in pan on stove over low heat (if in pan, stir constantly). Stir
until completely melted. Add sugar and mix til sugar is absorbed by
chocolate. Add eggs and vanilla and stir, then add flour and stir til
lumps are gone, don't stir more than that. Mix in nuts. Pour thin
layer of batter into greased 8x12 pan (just enough to cover the
bottom). Melt carmel in microwave for 30 seconds, or in pan until
soft. The carmel will still be in squares, but it will be warm and
soft. With fingers, flatten squares into larger squares and put on
top of brownie layer. Add the rest of the batter. Bake at 350 for 35
to 40 minutes.

The History of Recipes
Historians have found proof that recipes existed back into antiquity, at least as far back as ancient Egypt, and possibly even further than that. In practice though, these, ancient records were just very basic pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Closer to modern times, there are a couple of interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - one book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Amusingly, these two books have no connection with the spicy food that is familiar to us all today, but instead recipes for the types of food on the menues of the wealthy. By the time we get to the twentieth century, recipe publications are in great demand, as a result of more people being able to read, more leisure time and being a little richer. |
We hope you enjoy this Candycane's Brownies recipe.
