Salted Caramel Pecan Brownies

I've been dreaming up this recipe for awhile now, and finally, on this lazy Saturday afternoon, I made them :) They have a thousand million calories in every square, but with the salt... they are totally worth it.
Here's what to do: 

One box of brownie mix (bake as per box instructions)

While the brownies are baking, toss pecans with some melted butter, salt them and toast for 15min...

 Next, Start on the caramel sauce ... Yummmm!!!

Melt 1 cup of butter on low heat...

Then add 3/4 cups dark brown sugar

Stir together until butter & sugar have mixed well and is smooth

Next, add 1 Cup corn syrup and 1 can sweetened condensed milk, and 1 tsp salt - (be generous!)

Now, turn up the heat and stir constantly, until thickened, about 10 min

Your brownies should be coming out of the oven soon, and when they do, let them col for 5 min and then pour the caramel on top...

Let stand for 10 min so that it sets just a bit, then sprinkle with salt...

Then all your salted, buttery pecans on top.

Ahhhh YUM!!! Throw them in the fridge for 2 hours and then cut and enjoy with a coffee and some ice-cream... I sincerely apologize for the amount of calories in one square, but, yeah - they're delicious!! So just enjoy!!

New Venture!

I'm So-ooo excited about this!!

About a month ago I enrolled Reece in cooking class. She absolutely loved it!! She learned how to grade cheese, crack eggs, use a knife, measure, and set the table - totally worth it!! 

For the last class Reece wore one of the aprons that I'd made, and the class teacher (who also is the owner) asked where this adorable apron comes from?!?!?

 Fast forward a few emails, phone calls and a very exciting meeting... my aprons are now for sale in the Cookery!! 

This is the poster that will be up in the cookery! The size will be 12" x 36"
