BROWNIES FROM A CAKE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees (second-lowest rack).
• Grease an 11x7 or a 13x9-inch baking pan (the brownies baked in a 13x9 pan will not be as high).
• In a large bowl using an electric mixer beat all ingredients except walnuts or chocolate chips until smooth (the batter will be thick).
• Add in walnuts of chocolate chips mix to combine.
• Spread into the prepared baking dish (the batter will be very thick so have patience!).
• Bake for about 25-30 minutes (do not overbake).
• Cool completely before frosting.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, brownie mix, eggs, oil, water and mix until combined.
• Use a spatula to spread half of the batter in a rectangle pan (Dimensions: 9x13) that's been lined with aluminum foil and greased with oil. 
• Bake the layer for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees F until the top is firm and brownie is partially baked. 
• While that's baking, add caramels, condensed milk, butter in a mixing bowl and heat in microwave, mixing often, until mixture is smooth. It should be thick. You can also add a little sea salt to make salted caramel, if you like.
• Remove the partially baked brownie from the oven.
• Pour the caramel mixture over the brownie and spread it with a spatula. 
• Let it set for 5-10 minutes so that it becomes slightly firm. 
• Spread remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel layer, slowly and gently, being careful not to push it into the caramel layer. 
• Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. 
• Bake again at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out mostly clean with a few sticky crumbs. 
• Let it chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours so that it becomes firm, making it easy to cut perfect, even slices. Enjoy!
