Caramel Brownies...

So rich, gooey, and delicious nobody will ever suspect they begin with cake mix!

Do you prefer rich decadent desserts? Are you a chocolate and caramel fan?

These Caramel Brownies are so rich, gooey, and delicious nobody will ever suspect they begin with a cake mix.

And talk about easy brownies, with just 5 ingredients these are quick and easy to make. The most time consuming part is unwrapping the caramels!

If you have kids at home ask them to assist or replace the caramels with a jar of caramel ice cream topping if you are feeling especially lazy or are short on time.

This Caramel and Chocolate Brownies Recipe is a longtime favorite. Many have turned to it for decades. We hope it becomes a favorite in your recipe box too. It's the kind of recipe I love, turning out deliciously rich, over-the-top brownies with minimal effort.

For best results I like to cool my caramel and chocolate brownies completely and give them a quick chill in the refrigerator to reduce the mess of oozing caramel when it's time to cut them.

For best results be sure to use a metal baking pan, not glass, when making these brownies. We prefer Kraft caramels to any others we have tried.

Chocolate Caramel Brownies Variation:

• Mix cake mix with 3/4 cup melted butter, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup nuts

Serving Suggestion:

At your next dinner party, serve caramel and chocolate brownie sundaes by topping a warm brownie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzle of caramel sauce and sprinkle of chopped nuts. Your guests are sure to swoon.
