Salted Caramel Brownie Whoopies

Had my first go at making caramel this weekend! 

Here was the result: Salted Caramel Brownie Whoopies! YUM!!!!

I used this Donna Hay recipe as a guide.

**BUT**

It's wise to note:

For those poor on time (as we were), I'm all for using a packet brownie mix! Betty Crocker was the choice for this occasion. We simply baked the mix in a thin layer, for half the recommended cooking time to allow for the change in thickness.

Once cooked and cooled, we then took a cookie cutter and went ahead and cut the shapes out, ready for frosting.

Frosting wise, the caramel recipe calls for pouring cream to be used - I think this made the consistency a bit too runny though, so next time I will be using double cream. Still yum however!

TIP: don't overbeat your frosting when it comes to the final steps - it may split!

I would also recommend incorporating the salt into the mix after adding the cream - so it can melt through rather than sprinkle at the end (tastes better!)

Enjoy :)
