I gave this recipe for stars! The taste is delicious a little sweet but my kids loved them. I used Keeblers Chocolate covered caramel wafers. The middle was not cooked after the time stateed but kept in for another 20 minutes and they turned out fine. You do need to let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Thanks Sue L

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. I don't know if it's my luck with recipes lately or my oven but this is the second time recently that a brownie recipe baked on the edges but stayed raw in the center. The center of these brownies had a bottom layer (about 1/8") that was baked but on top was still raw. About 2" around the edges was baked after 35 minutes. I'm afraid the edges would have been burned to a crisp before the center finished baking. It's too bad because the taste was good (of the edges). I used 15 fun-size Twix (from two 4.56 oz pkgs). Thanks for the recipe anyway Sue - I hope it works better for the next person!
