Peanut Butter Caramel Swirled Brownies

Holy deliciousness!!!!!! If you want to impress people and show off your baking skills, this is the recipe to do just that. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/peanut-butter-caramel-swirled-brownies-recipe/index.html Bobby Flay has amazed me yet again! This man can do no wrong with food! This recipe I saw on a episode of throwdown with Bobby Flay-- he lost against goat cheese brownies if I remember correctly. Man, I gotta try those goat cheese brownies because his recipe is off --the-- charts AAAAmazing!

This recipe is not as hard as it looks. There are a lot of steps but the recipe went surprisingly smoothly for me. I did not have corn syrup so instead of buying a whole bottle I was never going to use, I substituted agave nectar and it still turned out great! Also just in reading the ingredients quickly and rushing off to the store to buy them, I did not notice that the recipe states 2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate, plus 4 ounces. So obviously you need a total of 6 ounces obviously and I ended up being short 2 ounces. :0 Yet the brownies still turned out amazing!

I'd keep an eye on the sugar and water because once it starts turning brown it does so fast! I think it happened in less than 5 minutes for me. When melting chocolate over boiling water, use a glass bowl for best results.

It is risky but following the directions for pulling out the brownies before they are completely done makes them so rich and soft and, oh, just plain decadent......mmmmm..... I had to leave mine in there for a few extra minutes but once the top was set I did pull them out and let them cool.

See???!!!! How pretty!!!!!
