Way back in September I got a new car. Want to know a secret? We got it 1. because my car was 10 years old and 2. we thought it was about to blow up. Turns out the perpetual beeping we heard for about 3 weeks was just my son’s cell phone not the engine about to explode. #truestory Yeahhhh, we realized it was the phone after we purchased the new car!
So this car has a keyless start, which means it doesn’t have a key. But it does have thisย keyless thing and this thing has to be in the car (or very very close) for the car to start. Now tell me, why not just have a key? I can’t ever find the keyless thing. And, I try to keep it in my purse, but sometimes it’s in my jacket which is inevitably in the house. And, now when I run I don’t have just a key to have on my person, I have this Thing to keep up with. I dunno maybe I’m just…. old and don’t like change. I want a key!

But in the bright side, I have brownies!ย Salted Caramel Candy Brownies Recipeย to be exact! And, they are worth drowning my keyless sorrows in and worth running that extra mile or three.
The brownie base for these Salted Caramel Candy Brownies Recipeย is my all-time favorite brownie. I’ve made Pralineย brownies, Rocky Road Brownies and Three Musketeer Brownies all that have the same basic brownie recipe. They are all very different because of the toppings though.
Instead of a brownie that has only cocoa powder, this brownie base recipe has real chocolate in it. I always use premium chocolate and believe me you can tell a huge difference in taste.
Melt the chocolateย and allow it to cool before mixing it into your recipe.
I sprinkle flaked sea salt on top of the brownies after I remove them from the oven. You can also use table salt.
