INSTRUCTIONS
FOR ICE CREAM: Place ice cream in medium bowl and soften slightly at room temperature. Stir in chopped Heath bars. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and freeze. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead) For CARAMEL SAUCE: Bring whipping cream to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Set aside. Combine sugar and 3 tablespoons water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until caramel is deep amber colour, brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush if sugar crystals formand occasionally swirling pan, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and slowly add warm whpping cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Return sauce to low heat and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in butter. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) FOR BROWNIES: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 9-inch square baking pan with 2-inch high sides. Combine butter and both chocolates in top of double boiler set over simmering water. Stir until melted. Remove from over water and cool mixture slightly. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla in large bowl until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Beat in chocolate mixture. Add flour, baking powder and salt and mix until combined. Stir in 1 cup chopped Heath bars. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons chopped candy. For fudgy consistency, bake until tester inserted into center comes out with moist batter still attatched, about 27 minutes; for cakelike texture, bake until tester inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs still attached, about 35 minutes. Cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and store at room temperature.) PUT IT TOGETHER: Rewarm sauce over low heat. Cut brownie into 9 pieces. Spoon warm caramel sauce onto 8 plates. Place 1 brownie in center of each. Surround each with vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with more warm caramel, and crumble remaining brownie over the plates.

“We need to discover all over again that worship is natural to the Christian, as it was to the godly Israelites who wrote the psalms, and that the habit of celebrating the greatness and graciousness of God yields an endless flow of thankfulness, joy, and zeal. #J.I. Packer”
