These Brownies with a Luscious Caramel Layer, drizzled with silky chocolate and topped with crunchy almonds, are an absolute treat for your taste buds! Not only are they rich and decadent, but they’re also easy to make and crafted from highly nutritious ingredients—making them a guilt-free indulgence you’ll love.
Brownies are one the easiest treats to make, yet, it took me a while to actually do it. I guess it was the fact that I wanted something more than just regular brownies. Well, it looks like I finally got the right combination of ingredients and flavors that I am happy with. These Brownies with Caramel are not only delicious but healthy as well. Of course, as I said many times before, not if you eat the whole tray by yourself. They are very rich and satisfying anyway, so not too many people could eat more than two.
Nevertheless, let’s talk about the caramel layer which is made of Medjool Dates. As you probably know, they are highly nutritious and they are the healthiest sweetener. However, if you like to learn more, you can read all about them HERE. I am also using the same caramel recipe in my WHITE CHOCOLATE TART all the ingredients are very healthy and it is practically raw. This caramel alone is a delicious and healthy treat that you can add to your breakfast bowl.
I truly hope you will try these Brownies with Caramel and let me what you think. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful week!
