We LOVE these brownies! We use a jar of Mrs Richardson's Caramel ice cream topping, way less work than unwrapping all those caramels & melting them down. However you choose to do it they are wonderful.

I have been making a slightly different variation of this brownie since 1987 and they are still my friends and families favorite dessert!! Have even used the tub of melted caramel that is for dipping apples and that worked also. To keep the caramel from dripping down the sides I make a little edge with the bottom brownie layer so that when it bakes it puffs up a little making a rim.

I always make a double recipe using a 9x12" glass pan which I have a cover for. I shipped this overnight in a aluminum lasagna pan as a Christmas present for my brother and his family. It had a boring title to me so I renamed it "Mongo Chocolate" because after all...Mongo likes chocolate! I have experimented with walnuts several times but now stick to the pecans. I splash a bit more cream into the caramels and it takes longer than the recipe suggests to melt them in the microwave - just keep a close eye on it. I have never been famous for cooking but I am famous for this dessert. Folks call me and ask if I would bake a batch if I am going to a party. My brother tells me it is really great over ice cream...vanilla, of course!!! This is really an outstanding dessert and is well deserving of five spoons! Grins, Denise Also, it survives very well outside the refrigerator for a couple days...should it last that long...but then a little piece goes a long long way!
