Total Calories: 1,056

Ingredients

Crust:
2 cups ground Oreo cookies
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
20 caramels
2 tablespoons heavy cream
-----------------------
Brownie:
3/4 cup unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
3 large eggs
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons macadamia nut liqueur or 2 tablespoons crème de cacoa
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped semisweet chocolate
-----------------------
Ganache:
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
10 ounces high quality semisweet chocolate, chopped

Directions:

Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into bottom of pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips and nuts. Combine caramels with cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute. (Stir to melt.) Drizzle over nuts and refrigerate while preparing Brownie.

Brownie:
Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate in large saucepan, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Whisk eggs, sugar, and liqueur. Stir in flour, salt, and semisweet chocolate. Pour over crust. Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs, 60-65 minutes. Cool on rack. Refrigerate until firm. Remove from pan; cut into wedges. Brownies will be thick and fudgy, not like cake.

Ganache:
For ganache, heat whipping cream in medium saucepan until hot. Add chocolate and stir until completely blended. Pour ganache over top and sides of each wedge, covering completely. Refrigerate until set. Decorate with chocolate hibiscus leaves, macadamia nuts, and caramel drizzle, if desired.

Editor’s Extra:
This is so rich and luscious. Serve small wedges with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Incredible!
