The Best Caramel Brownies

Excellent brownies! My Mom has been making these for years... one thing that makes the whole process easier is using caramel sundae sauce instead of actual caramels. Makes delicious gooey brownies! :)

These are fantastic, extremely rich and gooey, easy and yummy. Everyone at our BBQ loved them. I made one small change. It seemed like the brownie was going to turn out rather thin, at least thinner than we like, so i used an 11 x 7 pan instead of a 13 x 9. To make the topping more smooth and even, I just pinched the dough into ping pong sized balls and flattened them out with my hands and then placed them so that they slightly overlapped each other. The brownies came out lovely and were gone in a flash. Using this size pan and cutting them into about 2 inch pieces yielded me 15 pieces.

i used a yellow cake mix instead of chocolate and it turned out great. I also drizzled white chocolate and used almonds in the mix so it was more like a caramel blondie than a brownie. this is so easy and you can do so many variations depending on cake mix flavor and add ons. this is a keeper!

My 96 year old aunt and I have been using a similar recipe for years. I use sheets of caramel (like those used for making caramel apples)....makes cleanup easier.

Gosh, this became such a mess for me when I made it. First, all cake mixes in the store are 15-3/4 ounces and receive states 18-3/4 ounces so I bought 2 boxes. Plus 14 ounces of caramel does not equal 14 ounces of Carmel syrup. I had way too much Carmel using the Carmel syrup and I'm sure I only needed to use 1 box of cake mix. What a mess!
