Caramel Brownie Cake

When I was pregnant with my son, I didn’t have any really weird pregnancy cravings. The only things I really wanted with any sense of urgency were Slurpees from 7-11 and Spree candies. Other than that, I was just basically hungry…a lot. What does any of this have to do with today’s recipe? Well, nothing really. I just felt like sharing. And because this next recipe for Caramel Brownie Cake has chocolate in it. And because chocolate desserts (especially chocolate cake) always got that little baby inside my belly to moving.Easy Caramel Brownie Cake recipe from The Country Cook
If I hadn’t felt Alex moving as much as normal, I could almost guarantee he would stir if I ate a slice of chocolate cake. This dessert for Caramel Brownie Cake I’m sharing today is an easy and yummy dessert. It’s part brownie, part cake, part caramel and all yum! And I just love desserts like this that are just a little change up from your usual brownie (but not any harder to make!)
Ingredients:
1 box fudge brownie mix (family size for a 9×13 baking dish)
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable Oil
3 large eggs
1 jar caramel topping, divided use

1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts

    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!

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