|---|---|
| [Brownie dough] | |
| Chocolate, black recommended | 2 pieces (approx. 100g) |
| unsalted butter | 50g |
| sugar | 50g |
| egg | one (object) |
| weak flour | 50g |
| cocoa powder | 10g |
| (cow’s) milk | 1 tablespoon |
| [Caramel popcorn] | |
| popcorn bean | 30g |
| salad oil | 1 tablespoon |
| sugar | 40g |
| water (esp. cool, fresh water, e.g. drinking water) | 1 tablespoon |
| unsalted butter | 10g |
| Chocolate syrup for garnish (optional) | proper quantity |
way of making
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a mold with a cookie sheet. Sift together the flour and cocoa powder.
- [Brownie dough making, let the adventure begin! Place the chocolate board and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl and heat in a 500W microwave oven for 1 minute. Once heated, remove and mix well to melt completely. The moment the sweet and savory aroma of chocolate spreads through the kitchen is a moment of sheer happiness!
- Add the sugar to the melted chocolate and mix well, then crack in the eggs and mix further. Mixing well here will result in a moist brownie.
- Add the sifted flour and cocoa powder and mix gently with a rubber spatula until powdery. Add the milk and when the mixture becomes a smooth dough, it is ready to use.
- Pour the batter into the prepared molds and bake in the oven at 170°C for 20-25 minutes. The cake is done when nothing sticks to the skewer. When you take it out of the oven, the room is filled with the rich aroma of chocolate and the warmth of the freshly baked cake will make your heart skip a beat.
- [Prelude to the climax of caramel popcorn making! Place salad oil and popcorn beans in a saucepan, cover and place over medium heat. When you start to hear popping noises, shake the pot and heat until all the beans pop. Keep an eye on the pot to make sure they don’t burn. The rhythm of the popping sound is pleasant, and you can’t wait to see the finished product.
- In a separate saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Heat without stirring. When the mixture begins to bubble and turn a light caramel color, turn off the heat and add the unsalted butter. When the butter melts in the residual heat, the caramel sauce is ready.
- Place the popped popcorn in a large bowl and while it is still warm, pour the caramel sauce around it and toss it all together. At this point, the popcorn is hot, so be careful not to burn yourself, and mix quickly! The sweet aroma of the caramel mixes with the popcorn and builds the anticipation to an all-time high.
- [Impressive finale! Spread a generous amount of caramel popcorn on top of the baked and roughly heated brownie. Decorate with a thin drizzle of chocolate syrup, if desired, to complete the “Theater at Home! Caramel Popcorn Brownies” is complete!
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
It is important not to overmix the brownie batter. After adding the flour, mix it in quickly and it should be flourless; if it is overcooked, it will be dry, so keep an eye on your oven and adjust accordingly. For caramel popcorn, quickly toss the caramel sauce into the popcorn while it is still hot to ensure an even coating all over. We recommend enjoying it with warm coffee or milk while watching a movie.
