Brownies and Ice Cream

Isn't that a great store? When I want to give somebody a special gift, I always call them

because they've just got the sweetest candies in the world. And I lucked up today. I came back

with the caramel and I can't wait for us to use it. And the first recipe that I'm going to start

with is so quick and easy today. I'm actually going to start with a pre-packaged brownie mix

and you'll just follow the instructions on the brownie package. Do just like it says

Now, I actually prefer the brownie mix that they refer to as a chewy brownie

so follow the instructions for the chewy brownie, and they'll be so good

Now, mine calls for water, oil, and two eggs, and we're going to beat this up for about 50 strokes

It's so simple. You don't even have to pull out your electric mixer for this one

All right, now I've given this one about 50 whacks. So I'm going to come over here, and I'm going to lightly grease a 13 by 9 by 2 pan

I'm just going to scrape that into a pan. I'm just going to spread those out evenly

And now I going to take brown sugar and butter and my butter has been brought to room temperature so it nice and soft And I just going to cut that in By the time you get it right it should look like kind of a very coarse cornmeal

Now I've got our butter cut into our brown sugar, and I've thrown in some pecans

and I'm going to just stir those around into our brown sugar and butter

And now I'm gonna sprinkle this on top. This is a great way to take a prepackaged brownie mix

and make it extra special. All right, now we're gonna put this in the oven

and we're gonna cook it according to the directions on our box, which is 350 for about 25 minutes

All right, I've got that one in the oven ready and you know I've got another one right over here

waiting to come out. Oh, and it smells so good. I'm going to sit him right there

because I'm going to dig into some of this rich caramel that we got from River Street Sweets

And I'm actually going to... Oh! Ah! Doesn that look just delicious So delicious Now I going to heat this very lightly because I not through with those brownies yet There some more things we gonna do to those bad boys

And while I'm waiting for that to soften, I think I'll go ahead and start cutting on my brownies

Oh gosh, that crunchy top is so delicious. All right, now caramel's starting to heat up a little

Oh, I think that caramel's about to get right where we want it

All right, I think that I'm going to begin by taking me out a brownie

You know, that first square is always the hardest to get out, but I think I got him. Mmm

He looks so good. I've been a good girl, so I think I might put two on there

Alright, now I'm gonna turn this down extra low because our caramel is just perfect

to finish off this dessert. I've got some ice cream already made in the freezer

I gonna just use a store bought ice cream for this rather than making any because I want this to be delicious but quick and simple So I gonna just get

me a nice round ball of ice cream and I'm gonna kind of quickly form him in my

hands, melt him quickly. I'm gonna toss him in nuts. Now you can actually do this

earlier. You can make you a bunch of these and have in the freezer right ready

Oh, that's looking like a pretty good sundae, isn't it? I'm going to drizzle him with a little of the caramel

from River Street Sweets to go on top of the caramel that I actually baked into the brownie. Oh

And I can't eat this without whipped cream. Oh! Mmm, mmm, mmm, and a cherry on top

Doesn't he just look wonderful? And this is one of those dishes that's nice to share with somebody

Look, the caramel is beginning to harden from the cold of the ice cream

Mmm, no wonder they love those caramelized brownies
