Toasted sesame oil may be great in savory dishes, but personally I love it even more paired with sugar and chocolate. Here it is mixed into caramel, lending a nutty flavor that pairs well with everything that’s going on in these white chocolate brownies.

Cooks' Note

Not all white chocolate is created equal. This recipe works best with a white chocolate that has at least 30 percent cocoa butter. These can be made with a store-brand baking white chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli), but please note that the papery top on the brownies will separate more as it bakes with lower percentage cocoa butter chocolate and will seem hard out of the oven. They will still taste good, and the top will soften as they cool.
