Key takeaways 5
White chocolate is described as 'underrated' and requires high-quality ingredients (e.g., Ghirardelli, Lindt, or Milk Boy) for best results.
Caramel sauce relies on visual cues rather than timing; the sugar mixture must turn from cloudy to clear before browning, indicating water evaporation.
Adding heavy cream to hot caramel causes a violent reaction ('blast wave'), requiring careful pouring off-heat.
Using a 9x9 pan is preferred over 9x13 for brownies to achieve the correct 'girth' and texture.
The recipe involves melting white chocolate and butter together, then folding into a dry/wet batter mix.
