Caramel-Macchiato Brownies -- Southern Living

"From the 2009 August Edition. Caramel? Brownies? Nuf said! To make caramel bits -- quarter 12 caramels -- I spray my knife with cooking spray first! Use the espresso powder depending on how much you want these to have a coffee flavor! Cook time is time they are in the oven -- not the time you are required to attend to them! :)"

  1. These are so decadent! I cut up Werther's Caramels for the caramel bits. As appleydapply said, the marshmallows added an interesting texture to the top. They were very dense and rich - and I baked mine for about an hour, as they weren't set enough before that. The espresso enhances the chocolate flavour impressively - WOW! Thanks, SarahBeth! Made for Veggie Swap 19.
     
  2. These were very tasty. The only thing I'm not sure if I liked was the addition of the mini-marshmallows. Some of them were at the surface, and when they were in the oven they expanded and then melted, I guess...it created a pock-marked effect. So tasty, but not very pretty, brownies. :)
