Chocolate Brownie Base
- 1 box Kyra’s Bake Shop Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup oil
Hazelnut Caramel Fudge topping
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 brown sugar
- 1/2 cup semi sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups hazelnut pieces
Chocolate Brownie Base
- Preheat the oven to 350. Grease and line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper. Mix together the chocolate cake mix, eggs and oil and press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Hazelnut Caramel Fudge topping
- Make the Hazelnut Caramel Fudge topping while the brownie base is baking.
- While stirring occasionally, melt the butter, brown sugar, dark chocolate, honey, sugar, cream, salt and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until the butter, sugars, and chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the hazelnut pieces. Pour over the set brownie base and return to oven. Drop oven temperature to 325 and bake 15-20 minutes more until bubbly and thick.
- Let cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- If making the truffle fudge brownies base from scratch, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, potato starch, tapioca flour and salt. Whisk in the eggs, oil, water and peppermint extract. Stir until well combined and uniform in texture. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set.
