Gooey Brownies

As usual, I got bit with the "baking bug" around 9:30 pm one evening.  After searching through a cookbook and my pantry I decided to make something easy with a box of brownie mix that was about to expire.  This was one impromptu baking experiment that resulted in a tasty new discovery that I will revisit often!  These are probably my favorite brownies now :)

 

Like most things I make, you can tailor this recipe to suite your tastes and what you already have on hand.  If you don't love caramel (I'm not sure how you couldn't) you could just fudge sauce or add nuts instead of chocolate chips or use semi-sweet chips instead of milk chocolate.  It's a "whatever floats your boat recipe"....

Ingredients:

1 box brownie mix & ingredients listed on box
1/2 cup caramel sauce
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to temperature suggested on brownie box (usually 350 degrees F)

Bake as directed on box or until cake tester comes out clean when inserted into middle of brownies.

*I like my brownies really thick and chewy so if making in 13x9 dish I would use 2 boxes of brown mix and double the caramel and chocolate chips.
