Today's TWD challenge was kindly hosted by Tammy of Wee Treats by Tammy , who chose the Caramel-Peanut-Topped Brownie Cake.
It was quick and easy to make. 
Ta-da!
The only variations I made was to use semisweet chocolate in place of bittersweet and using roasted hazelnuts instead of peanuts in the sauce (do I have to tell you that I "cheated" and used some leftover caramel sauce - similar but not identical to Dorie's- that was sitting in the fridge for the last couple of days?). And I used a 10 inch pan because that was what's available in the place I made this.
And I was extra careful to read, reread and check and recheck the oven temperature after the creme brulee accident! I told my sister about that incident and she said: "Well, you did get creme brulee!" (i.e burnt cream) lol
About the brownie cake, I had read people's comments about it and most said it was good but not spectacular, so I expected a bad cake. But it did turn out good. Very good :)
Be sure to check out the TWD blogroll to see how others did!
