1 box Betty Crocker™ Supreme Salted Caramel Brownie Mix

1/2 cup mini pretzel twists, broken in half
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cocktail peanuts
1/2 cup Rolo® Minis unwrapped mini chewy caramels in milk chocolate (from 8-oz bag), halved

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with nonstick foil, leaving enough hanging over sides of pan for easy removal.

Step 2

Squeeze caramel onto brownie batter in 4 straight lines. Pull edge of a knife crosswise through caramel and batter in 4 straight lines, alternating direction. Place pretzels evenly on top of batter; sprinkle cocktail peanuts over top.

Step 3
Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until edges and tops are set and toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 30 minutes; top with ROLO® pieces. Cool 1 1/2 hours before cutting.
