caramel brownies

By mitzzy

There are times when you need a dessert, you need it now, you need it QUICK and you don’t want to fuss with a bunch of ingredients. Those are the times when I pull out a good boxed mix and mess with it a little. I grabbed a box of Ghirardelli brownie mix and some chocolate covered Dove candies recently, and combined them to make super simple, no-brainer, almost-embarrassed-to-call-this-a-recipe: Caramel Brownies

Super, super easy jazzed up brownie mix to make a delicious caramel brownie. Nothing fancy here!

Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 1 box of your favorite brownie mix (I like the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie)
• 25 Dove Caramel- Milk Chocolate candies (unwrapped)- or use another chocolate covered caramel candy

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to whatever it says on your brownie mix box (325 degrees F for Ghirardelli). Spray a 9x9-inch metal pan with nonstick spray and then line with a 9x15-inch strip of parchment paper, letting it come up and over two sides. Spray the parchment with nonstick spray too.

2. In a large bowl, prepare your brownie batter as directed on the box. Spread 1/2 of the brownie batter into your prepared pan. Place the chocolate-covered caramels on top in 5 rows of 5. Spoon the remaining brownie batter on top and spread to cover.

3. Bake the brownies as directed on your brownie mix box for a 9x9-inch pan.

4. Let the brownies cool completely and then gently lift the parchment paper and brownies out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into squares and serve!

Tips:
*I like to chill my brownies before I cut them- you get much cleaner cuts!
