When I saw that my foodie friend GiGi Momma busted out her fleur de sel to put on top of her brownies I had to copy cat. The brownies were a hit. In fact I left for 2 seconds only to come back and find about 4 out of the 5 kids fighting for their piece after they had pulled chairs over to the counter. Above is what I salvaged from the cute little savages. I'm guessing we should make brownies more often.
This is not a joke....putting either grey salt or fleur de sel salt on a brownie is HUGE. Go here for more ideas (like adding caramel vanilla sauce & ice cream) and the recipes.
looks delicious, I'll try next time I make brownies, I also love cheese brownies yum
ReplyDeleteI had the most delicious chocolate the other day. A sea salt covered chocolate filled with caramel. I am hooked. Will be trying these brownies soon. YUM!
ReplyDeleteMmmm....salty and chocolate. Sounds like a wonderful marriage of flavors. Will be giving that a try!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding - who would have thought of putting salt on something sweet and chocolatey. The first time I heard of fleur del sel was from out French exchange student. I still haven't tried it but think I might have to.
ReplyDeleteGigi is a good bud of mine, I stole the recipe too! LOVE, LOVE...they were a huge crowd pleaser at a dinner party I hosted!
ReplyDeletegreat--now i'm wanting to turn this cheese and apple into a big pan o' salted brownies.
ReplyDeleteglad you liked them--too bad you had to share with the kiddos!!!
xo
Mmm! I haven't made brownies since that dreadful day I made black bean brownies, gag. But I should try again--this time without legumes!
ReplyDeleteI made chocolate chip cookies today with pink Himalayan sea salt after fellow blogger Tracie raved about hers with coarse sea salt. I'm loving the pink Himalayan salt--great flavor.
Did you have five sets of hands helping you with the brownies? :)
Ooooooh, those sound uh-maz-ing. Since I was a wee lass, I have always eaten my brownies with butter melting on the top. People think it's weird, but I love it. Still, I am deffo going to have to throw a lil fleur de sel on top next time. Sounds deeee-lish.
