Oh man, I cannot resist a brownie!
One of my favs is to have these fav flavors all in one bite (or 10)..YUMMMM!
I love how the caramel soaks into the brownie! Perfect!
So, so fgood and so easy!
WOW. I love that you poked the holes and put the caramel in it. Sounds SOOOO good!
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!
What a delicious recipe!
These are fabulous!
Just pinned this the other day on Pinterest and got the supplies today! I am soo excited to make this! Chocolate, caramel, caramel whipped topping? Get outta here. Sounds devine! Thank you for the baking inspiration! Although my healthy eating routine is going to be angry with me 😉
Is there a homemade brownie mix you can use for this recipe? Or, can you use a smaller box of brownies?
