Tonight’s Goode & Gooseberry Project Recipe is Caramel Brownies
Otherwise affectionately known ’round these parts as the brownie that should be illegal –just to be fair to other brownies… just sayin’
The secret ingredient in these babies is a cake mix! Which makes my creativity kick into overdrive when it comes to all the possibilities for versions of this recipe!
Now forgive me dear readers…but I lost one of my memory disks that had the first several shots of this recipe on it… I also lost my make-up bag and my favorite t-shirt recently… but we aren’t going to talk about that right now…hmph!
So, let’s pretend I am melting caramel cubes with evaporated milk here
XXXX
I promise I did.
Now, let’s pretend I am mixing my cake mix, butter, evaporated milk and nuts in another bowl.
XXXX
Aren’t my mixing skills stellar?
Hang on… the pretending is almost over…
Now, let’s pretend we press half of the cake mix mixture into a 9 x 13 pan and bake @ 350 degrees for 8 minutes
XXXX
Whew… now pull ‘er out of the oven
Now sprinkle 1 cup dark chocolate chips on top
Now add your caramel GOODeNESS
And top with the remaining cake mix mixture
And finish baking for another 20 minutes
Now here is the bad news… you simply must wait for them to cool…
I know, I know… we all think we can break these rules… I do all the time.
However, this is one time you must wait because 1) the caramel is like molten lava and 2) they need to set up to be at their absolute GOODeNESS.
Once they are cool, cut them into squares and serve up to family and friends 🙂
Yummo!

Oh. My. GOODEness. I'm in my car and driving your way. You just need to send me directions. I'll just head west and wait on the directions. 🙂
Cranberry Morning says
Oh Good Grief! Why do you do this to me??? And are you sure this recipe isn't illegal?
I'll make this for the grandkids and then we'll see which one falls into a sugar coma first. LOL
So do I think they look delicious? Oh yes.
Gooseberry Patch says
WOW. Your photos really bring this ooey-gooey recipe to life…now if only it were HERE in real life. 😉
Danelle says
You're right, these should be illegal. Not that it would stop me from eating them. 🙂
Kerin says
Be right over. I'll bring the cold-frosty milk too 🙂
Naughty Brownies!!
Have a great day !
Lana says
Oh! DANG! Did you hear that? Yep that was me falling off the diet wagon AGAIN. There are too many yummy food blogs out today! I'm going to have to turn my computer off! 😉

I was one of the lucky ones that got to taste these brownies! Not that i'm rubbing it in!! hehe! They were FANTASTIC!
Brenda says
So glad you posted this recipe, its easy and looks amazing. Chocolate and caramel are so great togther.
BigD says
I'll second Liz–the were TERRIFIC.
You know, I'm not supposed to be doing the carmel and nuts thing, but I had to be "polite" and eat one (two?) anyway.
If you brought them again, I'd be just as polite…
Leah @ Beyer Beware says
I grew up calling these bad boys Illini Bars. My mom doesn't know what I mean until I refer to them as such. They are not allowed near me. I think they are 40 WW points a piece.
Mary @ Neat and Tidy says
If I haven't said this before, I will now – I love that you're using this cookbook as I cook from it. I haven't tried this recipe, and I'm beginning to wonder why!
Love your packaging in the canning jars – too cute.
