Death by Caramel Chocolate Loackers: #PureIngredients Recipe Contest

By: Finance Foodie

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Loacker, an Italian dessert company that makes a wide range of delicious wafer-based treats, asking if I wanted to participate in their #PureIngredients Recipe Contest. As one of 25 selected bloggers, the contest had me creating a recipe incorporating Loacker wafers. So I hunkered down this weekend in my lab (kitchen), and plugged away....

...24 hours later, after a lot of tweaking and turning, I finally perfected my masterpiece (don't worry, the final recipe only take less than 45 minutes to make). The final product? Well its Death by Caramel Chocolate Loackers - not only rich, gooey and chewy, but also super easy and quick to make (because really, who wants to spend all day in the kitchen)!!

Serves 8
Calories: Too many

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of pan with shortening or cooking spray. Mix brownie mix, egg, oil and water in a large bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, crush 1/2 cup of Chocolate Loacker wafers (~15 pieces). Stir into brownie batter and blend until well mixed.

3. Spread mixture into round pan and add chocolate chip morsels on top. Drizzle caramel in lines. Use a knife and drag across batter for a marbled effect.

4. Bake for 30-35 minutes. After brownies are done - cool for 5 minutes.

5. Cut 1/8 of the pie and drizzle with chocolate fudge. Add more Chocolate wafers for garnish and ENJOY!
