Swirled Brownies with Nutty Caramel Corn

Swirled Brownies with Nutty Caramel Corn

Since its kitchen is so tiny, La Laiterie at Farmstead restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, serves only desserts that can be prepared ahead of time. Kate Jennings, the co-owner and pastry chef, doesn't mind, since she'd rather make a pie than a soufflé.
