I was very dissapointed. The brownies were too greasy. I am not sure if I should have baked the cake batter beforehand?

Awesome! I didn't add the nuts since the store was out of them and I used devil's food cake mix bc that was all they had. These brownies were amazing! I had a bit of trouble getting them out of the pan. They didn't stick. They were just a gooey mess. But a delicious gooey mess! They reminded me of a molten chocolate cake with caramel AND chocolate inside. I want to make more just thinking about them :) I served them with vanilla ice cream. They are so rich I can't imagine them without ice cream. I will definitely be making these again.

These are what my Grandmother called "Sinful Brownies". For ease, I spray my pan with non-stick spray then line with wax paper. When the brownies are done I just lift the wax paper with the brownies out and let cool, then cut. When storing I wrap each separetly so they don't stick together.

These are excellent. I have made them 4 times and had success 3 times. DO NOT USE A GLASS PAN. They did not cook through all the way and were very bad. I used a metal 9X11 pan the next 3 times and they turned out perfect. Very moist and chocolately.

these turned out way too gooey. I even baked it a few minutes longer than called for. They were yummy, and certainly chocolatey, but mine did not resemble brownies!

I had a bit of trouble with this recipe. Firstly, I live in Canada so the measurements are different and this caused a problem. I bought one package of chocolate cake mix but didn't think to convert it to oz. because I figured a package is a package. NO it's not!. It takes two packages at 266g to make this recipe. When I saw how much batter I had to work with I knew I'd messed up. I figured the brownies would thin but just as delicious. I could probably have put it into an 8X8 pan but I had too much melted caramel sauce. Anyway, it turned into a gooey dessert served in bowls with ice cream and was a hit none the less!

These were good, but not 5* material. Sorry! I would not discourage anyone from making them though. I used a smaller pan 7x11in, and that may be where the problem lies. DO NOT USE A 7x11in PAN!! It over flowed the pan a little (it rises quite a bit) and turned out too gooey. Gooey is great for the caramel but not the actual brownie mix. Maybe I'll try a 9x9 or an 8x11 pan next time. If I remake this and it turns out better I'll bite my 4* and re-rate it. Also, I only used half a standard bag of chocolate drops and 11oz of caramel and it was just enough. I guess if I use a larger pan I'll have more surface area and I'll most likely use more of the aforementioned ingredients. Happy cooking!

My sister makes these brownies and they're THE BEST so I had to make them too. Since I can't follow a recipe to save my life, I made them with Smart Balance, fudge cake mix, a mixture of milk and dark chocolate chips (what was left of bags in the pantry) and no nuts (didn't have them). The Smart Balance makes them gooier and more difficult to cut, but they're still yummy. The darker chocolate cake and chips made these even richer than the real recipe, which is plenty rich. I can never actually taste the nuts when my sister makes them and she adds extra, so next time (because I'll make these over and over) I'm going to try a cup or so of salted mixed nuts chopped and sprinkled over the top to make a salty/sweet combination. Even though I cut these small and they are SO rich, I could eat the whole pan by myself in a couple of days.

We have been making these for 22 years. They are my favorite, but I like them best when they are cold and the caramel is hard. To make it easier, use the caramel bits by Kraft. You won't have to unwrap caramels. UPDATE- An even easier method is to use Mrs. Richardson's Butterschotch Caramel (found by the ice cream at grocery stores like Kroger). I melt it in the microwave. The taste is amazing and makes them so fast to prepare.

I am a chocoholic and these were probably the best brownies I've ever had. They are a little more work than the average brownie, but WELL worth it!

A little trouble? Maybe if you've never baked before! I have made these half a dozen times and they are always a hit. Being from Canada, I had a little trouble figuring out how many caramels to add as ours are sized in metric. Next time I will buy the bars of Macintosh toffee which will save me the time of unwrapping 56 caramels. Try to time your baking so that they will still be warm when served - to die for!

My son says he doesn't like caramel and he loved these. They were rich and moist. I used a chocolate cake mix and left out the nuts. You don't need to put the top in the fridge just pick off small chunks of the batter and drop on the caramel layer. Next time I'll use caramel topping and I'll be able to make these in a few minutes.YUM!

OMG....that's what everyone was saying when I took these to a surprise 50th birthday party. I was also told they were better than you know what! Lots of people asked for the recipe. I made these in an 8 by 8 square pan to make a thicker, richer brownie. Worked out very well that way (cut into 16 brownies each pan). I also didn't need 2 cups of chocolate chips. I used one 16-oz bag per 3 pans of brownies. Just sprinkle them over the top. I did try making some of the brownies with caramel fudge (commercial, not store-bought) to save time on unwrapping the candies and they turned out good, but the best flavor is with the real deal! Takes time and work but definitely worth it. The brownies are richer and hold together better. Using fudge caused the brownie to be very gooey and some fall apart, but nobody really seemed to notice the difference between the two! --udpate--12/18/07....just reading through some comments and noticed that a few cooks were confused as to whether or not to prepare the cake mix as stated on the back of the box...NO!!! You will have exactly what the box states is in the mix...a cake! Your 'batter' is going to rise and become fluffy. This recipe does require a lot of patience, and you're not always going to get it right the first time. Try using a deeper dish, like an 8x8, and always place a cookie sheet underneath for batter overflow. Keep trying, these brownines are worth the trial and error.
