Brownies....

I made these super yummy Surprise Brownies the other day and just had to share the secret behind the ooey-gooeyness. If it wasn't for having to clean out the muffin tin - I hate scrubbing out each of those little crevices - I'd make these all the time. You need:

*any brownie mix or brownie recipe of your own choosing

*bag of caramels

*Nila wafers

To make:

*Prepare your brownie batter as you normally would

*After greasing your muffin tins, place one Nila wafer in the bottom of each tin. Spoon a little more than a tablespoon of batter over the wafer (to cover it).

*Place an unwrapped caramel on the batter, then fill with more batter over the top until tin is about half/three-fourths full.

*Bake brownies {basically} according to recipe directions. You may have to watch it though, you might find they cook more quickly than a pan of brownies.

*Serve and enjoy WARM! If they cool off, pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds because these brownies are the best when the caramel inside is ooey-gooey.

Usually we just eat these alone--popping them in our mouths as fast as we can. But the other day I warmed one up, put a scoop of ice cream on top, and drizzled with fudge syrup and nuts. Why didn't I take a picture of them broke apart so the caramel goodness could be seen? Now it's too late - they are all gone. And if you're wondering why there is a Nila wafer on the bottom....I don't know why it's there. I just know it's good.
