Cooking Know-How

Since a glass baking dish conducts and retains heat better than a metal pan does, always reduce the oven temperature by 25ºF when baking in a glass baking dish.

My husband loves brownies with nuts in them. He also loves caramel. I made these for him, and he thought they were perfect! My whole family loved them.
