    Brownie Layer

    1. Line 13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides; spray with cooking spray.
    2. 1 Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix, 18.4 oz) + ingredients and bake brownies according to directions on brownie box and don't overbake. Let cool.

    2. Pour the caramel topping over the brownies. Let set for 10 minutes.

    1. In a medium size bowl, melt the chocolate for about 30 seconds in microwave, stirring every 10 seconds. Microwave for longer until chocolate is completely smooth.

    Storing and Serving Brownies

    I prefer to keep these brownies in the fridge when storing. Then take them out and let them come to room temp for about 5 minutes or microwave just a tad to get that chocolate a little soft and that gooey, buttery caramel on top of fudgy brownie squares all yummy-delicious?!  Soo good!
