- This recipe is walking me down mystery lane.
0:06
Y'all, I've formulated this way
0:09
of brownies when I was still working outta my house.
0:14
And I just kind of got tired of the same old brownies.
0:18
So I said, I'm gonna think
0:19
of some way to just shuffle it up a little bit.
0:23
So I am going to take four tablespoons of butter
0:30
and put 'em in my pan and melt that.
0:34
And then I'm going to add my pecans to it
0:37
and a cup of brown sugar.
0:42
But in the meantime, I just use a box brownie,
0:46
you know just whatever is your favorite.
0:54
Oh, I've never used this kind.
0:58
It has a chocolate syrup in it.
1:01
Yay. Little extra chocolate never hurt anything.
1:12
And I'm assuming that you just mix it.
1:18
- [Teresa] You just mix it in.
1:20
I make that one all the time.
1:27
- [Teresa] Trying to throw you a curve ball.
1:33
I like to try new things, but to be honest,
1:37
I always use the Duncan Hines chewy.
1:41
Cause I just found that gave me a chewy brownie
1:44
which was what I was going after.
1:58
I think I'm gonna get a little bowl for this
2:05
and mix my oil, I'm going right
2:08
by the package of the brownie mix y'all.
2:16
I think it called a third, a fourth of a cup of water.
2:20
A third of a cup of vegetable oil and one egg.
2:26
So we're just gonna beat those, get back in that bowl.
2:32
So we're just gonna fold that in and stir it.
2:37
The directions says, you know, until everything's combined.
2:45
I thought I was getting out a big enough bowl
2:47
but I could have stood.
2:48
- [Teresa] That one's going, I'm watching it.
2:52
- [Teresa] Now we're here.
2:53
No, I'm gonna make it.
2:54
I could have stood one bowl up though.
3:01
I'm telling you what Teresa is on the ball today.
3:04
I don't pick it up and use it before she is.
3:08
- [Teresa] Well, I'm trying not to grab the things.
3:10
I believe you might need.
3:10
- Go into the sink with it, which is wonderful.
3:20
Okay. I hear my butter starting to bubble.
3:24
I'm gonna go ahead and throw in my pecans.
3:29
Now you can use any kind of nut you like, you know
3:33
I've gotten where I'm a big fan of walnuts,
3:39
and oh my gosh, I've always loved macadamia nuts.
3:43
Those things are high as a cat's back.
3:47
Y'all ever buy macadamia nuts?
3:51
- [Teresa] Not really.
3:56
They're good in cookies
4:03
But you can see, this is getting mixed up really well.
4:07
You don't have to pull out any kind of mixer for this.
4:13
You can just do it with a little elbow grease
4:20
and that's all you need.
4:21
All right, let's see, I'm gonna stir this together
4:29
and I'm gonna add my brown sugar.
4:36
Let that brown sugar kind of melt.
4:40
And this is what I called my caramelized brownies
4:51
and people really seem to like them a lot.
5:01
So you can see our brown sugar
5:03
is starting to melt a little bit,
5:09
starting to melt into that butter.
5:25
Theresa would you mind getting me the vanilla flavoring?
5:30
- [Teresa] Not at all. I take it.
5:31
You're gonna add something to it.
5:33
- I change every recipe I have ever made y'all.
5:37
Yeah I think a little vanilla flavoring would be nice.
5:47
We just gonna cook this for a few minutes y'all not long.
5:51
And while we're waiting on that, I am gonna take--
6:00
It's, I made some in like a, looked like a vinegar jar.
6:06
One time you see that?
6:12
- [Teresa] I see one.
6:14
- The recipe calls for 13x9x2.
6:16
But this is an 11x8 that I'm using.
6:20
I think a 13x9 might be a little too thin.
6:21
You found it? - [Teresa] I thought this is
6:26
- [Teresa] It, the one that I got in my hand.
6:27
- Yes. See, that's an old vinegar jar.
6:31
Eddie and I will make him vanilla one day.
6:34
- [Teresa] I said threw me for a loop.
6:38
- Okay. I'm gonna shut that off.
6:45
And you know, you don't,
6:46
anytime you're using a vanilla flavoring
6:48
or any kind of flavoring, you don't want
6:51
your vanilla flavoring to cook
6:55
because it will cook the flavor out. Hear it?
7:05
It made it a little bit more liquidy too
7:12
Okay. So I'm gonna move back over here to our brownie mix.
7:26
I'm gonna spread this out into our baking dish.
7:43
That extra chocolate made that real chocolatey.
8:05
- [Teresa] And I almost missed it.
8:06
- I know. She's busy over there eating
8:09
- [Teresa] Strawberries from one of our earlier ones.
8:11
- Yep from the strawberry tiramisu.
8:19
Okay so you just wanna take your a spatula
8:22
and spread that out evenly in your pan.
8:30
And I'm gonna wash my wash my hands
8:32
so I won't get chocolate everywhere.
8:35
Okay. Now we just gonna try to evenly spread this on top
8:48
and it's going kind of caramelize these brownies.
8:53
Wanna be careful cause that's hot and sugar
9:00
hot sugar can, it can hurt.
9:07
So you don't wanna, you don't wanna burn yourself.
9:14
You know how hot syrups can get when you're making candy
9:19
and you have to cook it till it's a boil.
9:25
Now that's some of the hottest hot in the world right there.
9:30
Okay. I'm trying to get this.
9:33
So every bite somebody will have a little bite of caramel.
9:50
Oh, it smells so good.
9:51
That vanilla just brought it to life.
9:58
Okay. So that's just that simple.
10:04
So we're gonna put this
10:06
in a 325 degree oven and we're gonna cook it for
10:11
what maybe 25 minutes.
10:13
I can't remember what I said.
10:14
- [Teresa] And this section
10:15
- I do hope y'all will try this caramelized brownie recipe
10:21
because you know, it's just a nice change.
10:29
I'm actually not gonna be able to taste it.
10:32
I mean, it's steaming hot
10:40
and it's kind of gooey in the center,
10:47
but as it cools, it will come right out.
10:56
I don't know that it's gonna come out though right now.
11:22
So it cuts much better than that y'all cool.
11:26
I never tried to cut one straight outta the oven.
11:36
You know, every time I make brownies
11:38
I would frost them with a chocolate frosting and nuts.
11:42
And like I said, I just, you know, you get tired
11:49
of making the same thing over and over and over again.
11:53
And since I did did this five days a week
11:56
I just wanted to try to change around the brownies
11:59
see it's already starting to get real firm.
12:07
But if y'all were looking for something for labor day
12:13
I think you would enjoy this one.
12:17
So whatever you doing y'all be safe
12:19
and we send y'all love and best dishes
12:23
just like every other day.
