Gooey caramel swirled into rich chocolate brownies studded with chocolate chips. We took a shortcut by using a brownie mix and store bought caramels.

- In a large bowl, stir together brownie mix, water, vegetable oil and water until all the brownie mix is stirred in.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- In a medium saucepan place the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream.
- Pour brownie batter into greased 9 x 13 inch cake pan. (Or a 10 x 10).
Caramel Sauce
- Stir over medium heat until caramels are melted. Be sure to stir constantly and softly so that the caramel doesn't burn. You'll know if you burn the caramel. It stinks.
- Pour the melted caramel sauce over the brownie batter. Using a rubber spatula, swirl the caramel into the brownie batter.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Notes
I used a Pillsbury dark chocolate brownie mix intended for a 9x13" pan. If you are using a brownie mix intended for a 9x9" pan, you should cut your caramel sauce recipe in half and reduce your baking time.
