  1. I made these for the Super Bowl party and we loved them. As others have said, next time I will get those, hard to unwrap, carmels ready ahead of time. I had to scream "help" and my husband and grandaughter came running. I wish somone would come up with an easy method for step 7. I definitely could not pour but no one said a thing about the kinda rough look on the top. Vanilla ice cream just almost makes it live up to its name.
     
  2. I made these yesterday for a co-workers birthday. I served them with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Oh my, to die for. I followed the recipe exactly. It looks like it is complicated with the steps, but it really goes rather quickly. The hardest part is taking the blasted wrappers off the caramels :o) I was asked to share the recipe, so from 15 co workers, each give 5 stars.
     
  3. Sooooo good! Thanks for sharing :)
     
  4. Had to give 4 stars due to difficulty on spreading top brownie layer. I ended up rolling out on silicone baking sheet, cutting into manageable squares and lying on top. Looked a tad ugly but taste was decadent!
     
  5. EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!! I love this recipe. I was the star of the potluck! Thank you very much.

  1. These brownies are amazing! I get raves whenever I make them. One change, though- I use the triple chocolate cake mix from Betty Crocker instead of the german chocolate cake mix. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, it's almost impossible to spread that top layer of brownie batter over the caramel layer. So I take a spoon and drop "blops" of the batter ontop of the caramel, then pat/spread using a spatula. It still doesn't completely cover the caramel layer, but when it bakes in the oven it spreads more and gives the brownies a nice, "craggy topped" look. SO GOOD! I love them right out of the fridge...

I'm a native Utahn. Been married 39 years. I like to read, listen to music (right now my favorite it Sarah Brightman also Golden Oldies, unforgettable crooners, music from the 60's, 70's and 80's), going for walks, concerts and plays, movies, going fishing with DH, or just going on scenic rides, most everything with my best friend (DH). I'm also a big scifi fan. My favorite cookbook is Taste of Home's Quick Cooking Magazines and their Annuals. My favorite web site is Recipezaar. If I had a month off I would like to travel. WHAT AM I SAYING!! I'm off all the time. LOL Just no green stuff to use to go traveling. Plus its hard to travel long distances with DH's bad back. My RAK WISH LIST: 1.) I love scented candles.Wouldn't mind trying some of the layered ones. 2.) Different kinds of jams or jellies 3.) Matching chef aprons for DH and me 4.) A note saying Hi! 5.) Chocolate/Candy 6.) Refrigerator Magnets 7.) Unique or Original items from different parts of the Country/World 8.) Scented Bubble Baths, Bath Salts, Moisturizers 9.) Essential oils 10.) Homemade Things 11.) Spices 12.) Music I'm really not a hard person to please (LOL).
