I know that there are folks out there who don’t like to bake and who are intimidated by baking and all of the ingredients and terms involved. I love to show people that baking can be fun and that you can be successful no matter what level of kitchen knowledge you possess. But THIS little brownie project– no one can mess this one up. I promise.
You just need two things. You don’t necessarily have to have these brands- just a brownie boxed mix (a good one) and some chocolate-covered caramels. A Follow directions on the box for the brownies- add half of the mix to the pan and then top it with the chocolate-covered caramels.
Then spread the rest of the brownie mix on top of the candy. Bake according to your box instructions (probably about 40 minutes.
Let the brownies cool and then cut.
The great thing is, people will not likely think these are boxed brownies. The chocolate melts into the brownie, making it extra- chocolatey, and the caramel dotted throughout adds the extra special, ooey-goeey, omg component.
I had a lot folks asking me for the recipe when I brought these to a recent event. I was almost embarrassed to tell them how I made them (since I rarely do a boxed mix), but I find that there are a lot of people out there who covet boxed brownie mixes. Why Not? Some of them are pretty darn good. Jazz them up a little and they are that much better too 🙂 Do you grab a mix when you need a quick dessert once in a while?
