Two ways with Cadbury Caramel Spread

That caramel spread was just too delicious for one baked good.... so I made two!

If you've spotted Cadbury Caramel Spread but not added it your basket you absolutely must. I'm not sure how long Cadbury caramel spread has graced our shelves but I'm glad I found it eventually. It's only as a baker with a huge sweet tooth would I indulge in something like this - it's not an everyday toast spread mind you, but I knew it would be fantastic in a slab of brownies and a tray of cookies! And when you're stuck on what to make, not quite sure if you want a brownie or a cookie? I've got you covered with two recipes. 

You'll only need one jar of this Cadbury caramel spread. You could make the brownies one week and the cookies the week after using what's remaining. Both recipes are also great for freezing and also easy to give out to family, friends, co-workers etc so there's really not much else to excuse you from baking them. I've used my easy brownie base recipe and chocolate chip cooke recipe but pimped them up a little. And honestly this spread tastes exactly like the caramel from the dairy milk chocolate bar, it's quite addictive! 

Brownies

The brownies are super fudgy and even gooier with this lovely spread swirled through them. I added the spread in between the brownie batter before baking so that each bite has a mouthful of that caramel flavour. And then once baked I topped the brownies with a cube of dairy milk caramel chocolate so there's a little crunch to the texture. I try to use the least amount of ingredients as possible to not overcomplicate things and so that they're easily accessible. 

Ingredients you'll need for these brownies:

• dark chocolate
• butter
• eggs
• caster sugar
• plain flour
• cocoa powder
• Cadbury Dairy Milk caramel chocolate bar
• Cadbury caramel spread

Cookies

For the cookies, it's really simple to make the chocolate chip cookie base. The extra addition is freezing some teaspoons of the caramel spread and then you wrap the cookie dough discs around the frozen spread. Which is way easier frozen than trying to do it at ambient temperature - you end up with caramel everywhere. Once baked, again like with the brownies I add a cube of dairy milk caramel chocolate on top for even more caramel flavours. Wow do I feel hungry writing this!

Ingredients you'll need for these cookies:

• unsalted butter
• light brown sugar 
• vanilla
• egg
• plain flour
• bicarbonate of soda 
• salt
• cornflour 

• chocolate chips 
• Cadbury Dairy Milk caramel chocolate bar
• Cadbury caramel spread

Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel Cookies

Recipe 2 of my obsession with the Cadbury caramel spread comes in the form of cookies because cookies are also fantastic when stuffed with delicious spreads. If you haven't seen recipe 1, check that post out too, especially if you love brownies *hint, hint*. Anyway, these cookies are really easy to make, you just need to freeze the caramel spread to make it easy to wrap inside the cookie - otherwise you'll be a caramel mess!! And I'm definitely thinking of other spreads I can do the same with, as I think a gooey cookie is just the best sweet treat.

Recipe

Prep: 15 minutes + 60 minutes freezing time 

Cook: 12 minutes

Serves: 15 cookies

Notes:

• If you want your cookies to look very circular, as soon as they come out of the oven use a large round cookie cutter and gently place over the cookie to round the edges. 

Ingredients:

• 15 heaped tsp Cadbury caramel spread 
• 115g unsalted butter
• 175g light brown sugar 
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 medium egg
• 275g plain flour
• ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp cornflour 

• 200g chocolate chips 
• 180g bar Cadbury Dairy Milk caramel (you'll need 15 squares for decoration) 

• 

Method 

1. Firstly, scoop 15 heaped teaspoons of Cadbury caramel spread onto a lined tray, and freeze until solid. This usually takes 30-60 minutes.
2. Once the caramel spread has frozen, make the cookie dough.
3. Preheat the oven to 170℃ Fan/190℃.
4. In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, and then add in the vanilla and egg and beat again until smooth.
5. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda and cornflour, and then add in to the other bowl and mix. 
6. Add in the chocolate chips and mix until combined. 
7. The simplest way to do the next part is to split the cookie dough into 15 portions. You can even weigh the cookie dough to make it more accurate if you like.
8. Line the cookie dough portions onto lined baking trays (you'll need about 2-3 trays). Flatten each cookie dough ball slightly into a disc shape, and add a frozen lump of Cadbury caramel spread to the middle and then wrap the cookie dough around the spread fully so it's covered.
9. Make sure the cookies are spread out on each tray as they might spread a bit whilst baking, so you want room for them to expand.
10. Bake in the oven for roughly 12 minutes, or until golden. The more you bake, the less gooey they will be.
11. Once baked, move the cookies onto a wire rack to cool before serving.
12. Best stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
