these brownies get better the next day. the longer it sits the more gooey it gets. i could only find werthers soft caramels (instead of the square ones) and wasn't happy with the turn out of the caramel-i would suggest using the square caramels. after 18 minutes the top 'cake' part was still uncooked, i increased my final bake time by another 15 minutes.
