Chocolate-y Goodness.

Last night, I recreated one of my favorite dessert recipes : Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies.....

I wanted to share this amazing recipe - so here it is!

Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies

Ingredients:
1 pkg (12oz) semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
1 pkg (18-21oz) brownie mix (and ingredients to make cake-like brownies)
3/4 cup packed brown sugar, divided
1 cup salted mixed nuts - chopped, divided
40 pcs Rolo chocolate covered caramels
Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray 13x9 baking pan with cooking spray. Chop 1 1/2 cups of chocolate morsels. Combine brownie mix, water, oil, eggs and 1/4 cup of brown sugar; mix well. Fold in chopped chocolate; pour batter into pan, spreading evenly.
2. Combine half of the nuts and remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar; sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
3. Meanwhile, cut 16 Rolos into quarters. Place remaining 1/2 cup chocolate morsels into microwavable bowl, microwave HIGH 1 minute or until melted, stirring after each 20-second interval. Spoon melted chocolate into Ziploc baggie; set aside.
4. Remove pan from oven. Immediately press 24 Rolos evenly into brownie in four rows of six Rolos each. Sprinkle quartered Rolos and remaining nuts over brownies. Trim corner of chocolate-filled baggie; drizzle chocolate evenly over brownies. Cut into squares; serve warm. Serve with ice cream, if desired.

Yield: 24 servings

Enjoy! :)
