In reply to Bill. Hi Bill! Did you temp it by chance? It may have been slightly over-cooked originally. When you do microwave it you will want to do it slowly so it doesn't separate! I hope these turned out for you! :)

Hi Sam, my caramel wasn’t anything close to portable. Any suggestions? I’m gonna heat it back up in the microwave just a bit.

In reply to Judi Borts. Hi Judi! I haven't personally done it, but I think they should freeze just fine. :)

In reply to Wendy. Hi Wendy! I do let it cool for several minutes in the video before pouring over the brownies. I just cut out that time so you didn't have to watch a pot for 5 minutes. :)

The recipe says to allow caramel to cool completely before spreading but you used hot caramel in the video. Does it matter?

Delicious!! I made these brownies for my family, and they were gone in a day! I had never made any dessert with homemade caramel before, and mine turned out perfectly with this recipe. So so good!!!

In reply to Sam Merritt. Ok, thank you! I'll pick up some heavy cream. I get requests for your pecan pie bars. Everyone LOVES them!

In reply to Terry Hanusik. Hi Terry! You may struggle with the caramel setting up properly. It may be a bit looser and runny. :(

Sam, what do you think about using half and half vs heavy cream?? I don’t buy heavy cream often because I can never finish the carton.

I’m so excited for these brownies, but I did not know I was half a cup short of sugar for the brownie mix. I doubled the recipe because I wanted more than 12 brownies. Do you think that’s going to be a big issue?

In reply to Allison. Hi Allison! It will work, but personally I don't like the taste as much.

In reply to Kim. Hi Kim! Glucose syrup could work. :)

In reply to Sam. I want to try this recipe, but was wondering if I can switch the corn syrup for something else? Thanks!

In reply to Connie. Hi Connie! Your math for increasing 50% is accurate for the flour. You could double the recipe for a 16 x 22. It will likely be a little bit thinner but should still work well. :)

In reply to Sam. Hello San, example it calls for ⅔ cup (83 g) all-purpose flour.I would add 50% to the 83 g = 41.5 g totally 124.5 g ? question I want to make this using an 16 x 22 sheet pan, would I double or triple the recipe?

In reply to Lilliam Leal. Hi Lilliam! Semisweet chips will work it will just change the flavor slightly. :)
