Ingredients

For the cookie layer

  • FREEE Gluten Free Choc Chip Cookie Mix
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp oil

For the brownie layer

  • FREEE Gluten Free Chocolate Brownie Mix
  • 200 ml milk
  • 150 g butter melted
  • 75 g white chocolate chips
  • chocolate caramels as many as you have left in the chocolate box!

For the ganache layer

  • 150 g milk chocolate cut finely
  • 150 ml double cream
  • gold and bronze crunch sprinkles or any decoration you like!

Instructions

  • Prepare a square 8 or 9 inch tin with baking paper. Leave a little excess so that you'll be able to lift it out using the paper at the end.
  • Make the choc chip cookie mix into dough as described on the packet.
  • Once made into dough, spread it in your baking tin all the way to the edges. I used my fingers to push it carefully into a nice and flat, even layer. Try to get it as even as possible.
  • Place it to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or the freezer for about 15 minutes whilst you make your brownie mix.
  • Make your brownie mix as per the instructions. Fold in some additional white chocolate chips once it's looking nice and glossy and combined.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C Fan / 180C.
  • Once the cookie dough is chilled, place some chocolate covered caramels (or your caramel / chocolate of choice) on top of the cookie layer - as many or as few as you like.
  • Then pour the brownie mixture on top of it all and spread it to the edges. Try to get this layer really flat and even too.
  • Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked right through. Sometimes the centre can take a little longer, so make sure you check with a skewer after the cook time is up. I've found on occasions it can take 45 minutes when I've used another oven!
  • Once cooked allow to cool completely in the tin.
  • When it's completely cooled, make a quick chocolate ganache. Do this by chopping your chocolate very finely with a shape knife (until almost flake like) and placing it in a bowl.
  • Heat your double cream in a saucepan until just before boiling point. Then pour over your flakey chocolate. Make sure the cream covers the chocolate and then leave it without stirring for 5 minutes.
  • After 5 minutes, stir the mixture until it combines and becomes smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the top of the now cooled baked brownie/cookie and spread it so it goes to all the sides. Again, get it as flat and even as poss.
  • Sprinkle any decorations on top whilst the ganache is still wet.
  • Then place the whole thing in the fridge (in the tin) for at least an hour until the ganache has set.
  • Remove from the tin and slice into squares.
  • Enjoy!
