in honor of all their hard work

Are you watching the Olympics?  I am pretty sure I have watched more rowing and beach volleyball in the last 2 days than I have ever seen in all my life.  Of course I have also watched a ton of gymnastics and swimming.  I just love the swimming. I have to tell you though, I get tired just watching them.  Yes, just watching them on TV I feel as if I swam a 800 fly.  Yes that was me speaking swim.

Honoring them…

I love hearing all the stories about how the athletes got where they are now.  Some started at such a young age while others jumped into their sport as teenagers but they all have one thing in common…they work so HARD!

Being that these athletes have worked so hard and I am watching them from home getting tired I decided to make something yummy in honor of them…brownies loaded with peanut butter and caramel.  I hear athletes like peanut butter so I thought it would be a great addition, in honor of the athletes.

Bringing it all together…

The Hubby is enjoying the Olympics as well, and he also loves peanut butter so it is a win win or brownies.  Being that I am making these treats in honor of the Olympics I decided to amp it up a bit. Adding in some caramel to the peanut butter making this a brownie everyone will love.  I mean at least all the peanut butter and caramel lovers.

The brownie is fudgy and swirled with peanut butter and salted caramel in each bite, making these brownies something truly special.  Look how pretty they are…they are not only delicious but pretty.  Can it get any better?

Brownies for everyone…
