So, I’ve officially hung up my dental hygiene instruments for a while. I’ve been working part time at my office for the last 7 years and have really enjoyed it. My hubby and I decided this was a good time to take a little break while the boys are young and crazy, but I’m hoping to do some temp work for my office from time to time. So, as a goodbye for now, I brought a big plate of these wicked brownies for all to enjoy.
This is such a fun recipe, it is similar to one I created f0r the Pillsbury Bake-off a couple years ago, and even though it wasn’t chosen for the cook-off, they are a hit wherever I take them. I mean, what’s not to love about brownies lathered in caramel sauce and rice crispy treats drizzled with silky chocolate!!?? Take a big plate of these to your next party and watch your family and friends drool!

THESE ARE WONDERFUL!!! I made them last weekend and everyone who ate them, loved them!! I kept a few at home and gave the rest away!
Those sound delicious and so easy. I just might have to try those.
Hi Millie,
Your chocolate may not have been warm enough. If the chocolate doesn’t come together when adding the cream, try adding a little more until it becomes smooth. When you add more fat to the chocolate it will smooth out. Hope this helps. Sometimes after I stir the cream in, I will microwave it for an additional 15 seconds or so just so it is warmer. Good luck!
So i made these, and when i added the cream to the chocolate topping it just thickened up and wouldnt melt back down to be able to pour over the top… any suggestions?
