Jersey Caramel Butterscotch Brownies

Submitted by Butterfly girl

"This is a recipe I found in the June 2005 Super Food Ideas magazine. Every time I make it I barely manage to get one piece as it is a real hit. I have melted the butter in the microwave & also I prefer to sprinkle the caramels through the middle so initially spread 1/2 the mixture, sprinkle the caramels & then the rest of the mix on top. Firm favourite."
