Ingredients

  • 100 g (3.53 oz) Dark/Semi-Sweet Chocolate Melted
  • 170 g (6 oz) Unsalted Butter Melted
  • 100 g (3.53 oz) Granulated Sugar
  • 100 g (3.53 oz) Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 2 (2) Large Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) Vanilla Extract
  • 80 g (2.82 oz) Plain Flour
  • 30 g (1.06 oz) Cocoa Powder

For the Filling

  • 150 g (5.29 oz) Caramel Sauce Store bought or use my recipe
  • 100 g (3.53 oz) Roughly Chopped Salted Peanuts

For the Ganache Topping

  • 50 g (1.76 oz) Dark/Semi-Sweet Chocolate Roughly Chopped Bar or Chips
  • 100 ml (3.38 floz) Heavy Cream (Double Cream)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 390℉/180℃. Line 12 muffin holes with cupcake/muffin liners.
  • In a small bowl, break up the dark chocolate and melt in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between to make sure it doesn't burn. Alternatively, set up a double boiler. Do this by placing a heatproof bowl over a small pot of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the heatproof bowl and stir until melted.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and both sugars. With an electric/stand mixer, go for a solid 3-5minutes so it is totally combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time and mixing in between. 
  • Now, add the melted chocolate slowly and combine once again. 
  • Add the flour and cocoa powder, fold gently into the wet mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. 
  • Fill each cup to about 3/4 full, they don't rise much.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes. While warm, use something like the end of a wooden spoon or tablespoon measure to create deep indents in the centre of each brownie cup. Let cool.
  • Once cool, add about a teaspoon of caramel sauce to each brownie cup. Sprinkle over some chopped peanuts.

For the Ganache

  • Put the chocolate into a heatproof jug. If using a bar of solid chocolate, chop it into small pieces first. 
  • Heat the cream in a small saucepan over a low/medium flame. Keep stirring until the cream comes to the boil. Turn off the heat and pour the cream into the bowl with the chocolate. Let rest 1 minute before stirring until the mixture comes together to form a glossy/rich consistency. While still liquid, pour into the wells you made in the brownie cups.
  • Let chill in the fridge to firm up before serving!
