When I was younger, one of my favorite candy bars would be a snickers. I would first eat the chocolate, then eat the nougat, and finally, finish with the caramel and peanut part. Actually, I still eat a candy bar the same way today. Grumpy laughs at me. He says he has never seen anyone eat a candy bar like I do! I guess I just like to savor the different components of the candy bar rather than bite into it all at once! I actually ate my portion of this week's treat in pretty much the same way....in sections!
This week for Tuesdays with Dorie, Tammy of Wee Treats by Tammy chose Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake on pages 264 and 265. I had just made another caramel smothered cake last week but mom and dad were coming over to visit and I decided to go ahead and make the TWD choice anyway. What wasn't eaten here went to work. Yeah, I'm letting all the students and professors clean up my leftovers. They don't complain though. Not if I am bringing it in! They actually complain if I don't bring it in!

Melted caramels sound like a great substitution!

Looks wonderful - I think your caramel sauce sounds like a great time saver (which I'll keep filed away for when the time comes for a quick caramel sauce - thanks)!
Marthe
Your cake looks perfect, even with the different caramel!!

Your cake looks amazing to me! I have had your blogged tagged, along with probably hundred's of others and have a hard time keeping up with all of them, but just spent some time browsing through yours as I haven't for a good month or so (sorry), but you've sure got a lot of yummy looking stuff on here. I'm going to move it up on my list! 😉
I especially LOVE the NY Times JT chocolate chip cookies and have made them a ton of time. They are my favorite ccc. I can't even think about them, or I'll get a hankerin' to make them again. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Glad your parents liked it-it looks gorgeous.

Love those photos. My co-workers are the same way - and I work in a library so sometimes I find new cookbooks (with pages tagged) left on my desk! 🙂
Isa
Haha... that's a weird way too eat your snickers indeed, but the whole point is to enjoy it and if you like each component separately, go for it!
Your cake looks delicious. I'm glad you liked it.

Taking all these baked goods into the office is good job security! Interesting about the kettle peanuts.

a gorgeous cake! it sounds like we have the same strategy of sharing our gooey goodies on campus:)
Jacque
I'll bet the improvised caramel-peanut creation was pretty good. Your cake looks delish!
Peggy
great idea for the melted caramels! Glad we got this blog thing figured out!! Thanks for your help.
Lisa
That is one decadent looking cake.
Cathy
This looks wonderful! Lucky, lucky students and professors! If I ever make this again, I am definitely making caramel your way -- Dorie's way did not work out so well for me. I think I shared your reaction to the cake in general -- it was good, but not "blow me over" good.
