To Make the brownie biscuits

• Preheat oven to 180°C
• Place 200g of the chocolate and the 40g of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir frequently until melted and smooth. Set aside.
• Place the eggs, sugar and vanilla in an electric mixer and whisk for 15 minutes or until pale and creamy.
• Stir through the flour, baking powder, chocolate mixture and remaining chocolate.
• Place tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto baking trays lined with non-stick baking paper, allowing room to spread.
• Place in oven and bake for 8–10 minutes or until puffed and cracked.
• Allow to cool completely on trays.

To make the salted caramel icing

• Place the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over low heat and stir with a metal spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
• Increase heat to medium and bring to the boil. Cook, without stirring, for 8–9 minutes or until golden.
• Remove from the heat and carefully add the cream and butter.
• Return the saucepan to the heat and stir until the mixture is smooth.
• Refrigerate until completely cool.
• Using a hand-held electric whisk, whisk mixture until soft peaks form.
• Spread half the brownie biscuits with the icing, sprinkle with the salt and sandwich with the remaining biscuits.
