Candy Bar Brownie Sundae
- 1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks), divided
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, roughly chopped
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
- 1 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
- 2 (2-ounce) chocolate covered nougat candy bars, roughly chopped (recommended: Snickers)
- Vanilla ice cream
- 1 recipe Caramel Sauce, recipe follows
- Whipped cream, for garnish
- Maraschino cherries, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 13 by 9-inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the flour.
- Heat the remaining 3/4 cup butter and the unsweetened chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted.
- Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup flour and the sugar.
- Add melted chocolate mixture to the flour mixture, stirring to combine.
- Add the eggs, whisking until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla, chocolate morsels, walnuts, and chopped candy bars.
- Spread mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake just until the center is set, 30 to 35 minutes; for dark colored pans, bake 23 to 25 minutes.
- Cool completely.
- Cut into 15 squares.
- Place 1 or 2 squares in a shallow bowl or sundae dish.
- Top with 1 scoop of ice cream and drizzle with Caramel Sauce.
- Garnish with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup whole milk
- Combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium heavy saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Let boil without stirring until the mixture becomes a deep amber color, 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn't burn.
- Add the cream (be careful; it will bubble up), whisk to combine, and remove from the heat.
- Add 2 tablespoons of the milk, then add up to 2 more tablespoons, until the desired consistency is reached.
- Let cool until just warm before serving.
- (The sauce will thicken as it cools.)
