caramel makes me happy

I LOVE caramel anything really.  I love it in my coffee, I love it on ice cream, I love it swirled into cakes and I especially love it with brownies.  Over time I have made a couple of caramel brownie recipes (like this one)  but this new recipe is The Hubby’s favorite one hands down.

For most of my other caramel recipes I use my super easy homemade caramel sauce (recipe can be found here) but for this brownie recipe I used the caramel candies.  You know those little square bits of yummy goodness wrapped in that annoying cellophane…well just because I love caramel (& The Hubby) so much I unwrapped them all and created these amazing brownies.

The secret to these perfect brownies is letting the bottom of the brownies bake for a little bit and then cover it with the caramel layer.  Lets talk for a bit about the caramel layer.  First, its caramel so that is good enough…and then you add in some sweetened condescended milk to make it AMAZING!!  

I am a sucker for sweetened condensed milk for sure.  When I was in high school I worked at a snow cone stand and one of the optional toppings was sweetened condensed milk…and I LOVED it!  It is sweet, and creamy and perfect!!  When you mix it with caramel it makes for a perfect caramel layer, especially in these brownies.

As I said The Hubby LOVES these, and I have actually made them several times for him already, but the real fan was my nephew.  HE LOVED THEM!  Now I won’t lie I do maybe bribe hime a little with sweets every now and then (or every time I make something yummy) but he really did love these.  I would only give him a little at a time, and very quickly he would ask for “mooooore please” and of course, I would give him moooore and mooooore.  I would do anything for that little guy!!

These brownies are a must make this summer for sure…they are a perfect treat that everyone will love.
