- In a heatproof container set over, but not touching, a saucepan of barely simmering water, heat the butter and chocolate, stirring constantly, until the mixture is melted and smooth; remove from the heat; set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs and sugar until fluffy and lightened in color, about 1 minute; add the vanilla and mix until combined; add the chocolate mixture and mix just until incorporated; add the flour mixture and mix just until incorporated; the batter should be smooth; using a spatula, fold in the chocolate-covered caramel pieces; spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs; transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely; using a small knife, loosen the sides of the brownies from the pan; carefully lift the paper and the whole uncut brownie in 1 piece from the pan; remove and discard the paper; cut the brownie into whatever size you see fit to indulge inches.

Wonderful brownies!! Since I didn't have bittersweet, I used a mixture of semisweet and unsweetened. 1/2 cup semisweet and 1 oz unsweetened. This was a great way to use up some extra CHRISTmas Rolo candies I got on sale. I ended up doubling the recipe and putting in 9x9 pan for some really thick brownies. It took probably 10 minutes longer but they were so yummy and chewy just like we like them. Thanks, evelyn/athens!

Gooey goodness! These were easy to make too. I did not have the bittersweet so I used semisweet which can often be used interchangeably. That change worked very well. Sent a plate of them to the neighbors because they had a death in the family. I'll be making these again. Made for *1 2 3 Hit Wonders* game 2007

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
