CARAMEL-CHEESE BROWNIES

List of Ingredients






1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
20 caramels, unwrapped
1 tablespoon water
--------------------
BROWNIES
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt



Recipe



When testing brownies for doneness, if a few crumbs stick to the toothpick
that's okay, so don't be tempted to overbake.

Prep time: 40 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Degree of difficulty: moderate
Microwave used

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, letting
foil extend at ends. Grease foil.

2. Whisk cream cheese and egg together in medium bowl until smooth; set
aside.

3. Combine caramels with water in small microwaveproof bowl. Cover with
plastic
wrap, turning back one section to vent. Microwave on Medium 1 minute; stir.
Microwave 1 minute more. Stir mixture until caramels are melted. Set aside and
cool slightly while making brownies.

4. Make brownies: Microwave butter on Medium in a large microwaveproof bowl 1
to 1 1/2 minutes, until melted. Whisk in cocoa until smooth; let stand 5
minutes to cool slightly. Whisk both sugars into chocolate mixture until
combined. Add eggs 1 at a time, whisking after each addition until blended.
Stir in flour, vanilla and salt.

5. Spread 1 3/4 cups brownie batter in prepared pan. Gently stir melted
caramels into cream-cheese mixture just until marbleized, then slowly pour
over
brownie layer, spreading evenly to cover. Spread remaining brownie batter
evenly over cream cheese-caramel layer (there may be a few spots where it
won't
cover completely).

6. Bake 40 minutes, until crumbs cling to toothpick inserted in center. Cool
completely in pan on wire rack.

7. Using foil at ends, remove brownie from pan. (Can be made ahead. Wrap well
and freeze up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature 2 hours.) Peel off foil.
Cut
into twelve 3x3-inch squares, then cut each square in half diagonally into
triangles. Makes 24 brownies.
