My Favorite Brownies in time for March Madness!

Dear Friends,

March Madness is almost here! A sure crowd pleaser and the perfect pick-up dessert for a game watching party!

I’ve made these brownies for years! I’ve taken them to house parties and family beach trips. My family loves them and their friends used to ask for the recipe before they all bought my book!

Don’t fret if you can’t find the exact same size for the German Chocolate Cake MIx. Anything close works. Trust me, these are no fail as long as you give the ooey gooey caramel center time to set. YUM!

While we’re talking parties, let’s make sure you’re ready with the “30 Days to Effortless Entertaining” workshop. If you missed the one happening now, be sure to register for the next one starting March 14th … in just two weeks! Don’t miss this opportunity to be ready to host your friends and family with ease and confidence!

Irwin’s Super Brownies

Yields 24                 Adapted from In Order to Serve, Christ Episcopal Church

INGREDIENTS 

1 18.25-oz box German chocolate
cake mix
¾ cup butter, softened
⅔ cup evaporated milk, divided
1 14-oz pkg caramels
1 6-oz pkg chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans, optional

 

DIRECTIONS

Combine cake mix with butter and ⅓ cup milk. Spread half of batter into greased 9×13 baking dish. Bake at 350° for 6 min.

Melt caramels in top of double boiler or microwave with remaining ⅓ cup milk. Set aside.

Cover baked mixture with chocolate chips. Sprinkle pecans on top, optional. Drizzle with caramel. Dot with remaining cake batter. It will be sticky. Bake 15–18 min.

Cool, then freeze approx 30 min. Cut into bars.

 

DEEDEE’S NOTES:

  • Recipe may be prepared earlier in the day and is better prepared 2–3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Cut into bars and bring to room temperature to serve.
  • I melt the caramels in the microwave – slowly, stirring at 1-minute intervals.
  • Increases well. Freezes well.
