TWD: Caramel-Peanut Topped Brownie Cake

This is the first Tuesdays with Dorie recipe that earned me a "You're a superstar" from my husband! Not bad for it being the fourth TWD recipe I've made.

I made a couple of changes to Dorie's recipe. First, I split it in half. Second, I used semi-sweet chocolate instead of bittersweet. I don't like the taste of bittersweet and in the back of Dorie's book, she says the two can be used interchangeably. I don't think either change had any impact on the recipe. Although, I didn't bake my cake for as long as she directed.

This was also the first time I've made caramel. I was beginning to think it wouldn't turn the deep amber color she said it would, but it did very quickly. So, keep your eye on it!
