Is there a homemade brownie mix you can use for this recipe? Or, can you use a smaller box of brownies?

These flavors really are just perfect together. I have to echo what Dorothy thought about the holes; perforating the brownie to hold even more caramel is fantastic!
Dorothy
WOW. I love that you poked the holes and put the caramel in it. Sounds SOOOO good!
