Tjong – caramel chews

As you may have noticed, I did not manage to post another recipe by now. Life is taking over and I have no idea how to continue posting regulary here at the moment. My new job is exciting and challenging, and I love it. The only drawback is that commuting steals that time of the day I usually freed to bake and photograph. Now, instead of baking I sit on the train commuting. I don’t want to put myself under pressure with posting here, so I decided to continue posting irregularly and concentrate more on the photoblog, where photos speak for themselves without many words or instructions. For the moment I want to leave you with a scan of a Swedish recipe for homemade caramel candy. This is such a special recipe – easy in what it requires from the ingredients, but requiring patience and time in preparation. If you have kids – they will be thrilled to see you make caramel candy. They can even help once the mass has cooled and needs to be stretched.

Enjoy, and see you around! ♥

turtle brownies

The first time I came across turtles was in New England. Deliciously sweet, chocolate, pecans and caramel – all combined. For a welcome treat I wanted to produce something similar, and came across these at joy of baking. Since pecans are not really affordable over here, I substituted those by walnuts and the heavy cream for the ganache by condensed milk. They came out moist and caramely, just like I hoped them to be. Another (among several) tweak to the original recipe was the substitution of light corn syrup by molasses, which worked out very well. I assume it gives those brownies a more intense taste.
