These brownies are absolutely delicious. I was at a Pampered Chef party and this was the yummy dessert that was served. Everyone loved it. The caramels in it are Rolos accented by salted mixed nuts and vanilla ice cream on top of the warm brownie. Sooooo good! Looks like a lot of steps but not hard to do. In fact, they are quite easy. Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels (divided) |
1 (18 -21 ounce) package brownie mix (plus ingredients to make cake-like brownies) |
3 eggs |
oil |
water |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (divided) |
1 cup salted mixed nuts (divided) |
5 (1 2/3 ounce) rolo chocolates, rolls of milk chocolate-covered chewy caramels, 40 pieces |
vanilla ice cream (optional) |

1. Lightly grease an 11 x15 cookie sheet; heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Chop 1 1/2 cups chocolate bits.
3. In a bowl combine the brownie mix, water, oil, eggs as directed on the box and 1/4 cup of the brown sugar; mix well.
4. Fold in chopped chocolate bits and pour batter into pan, spreading evenly.
5. Chop nuts and combine half of the nuts with the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar; spread evenly over brownie batter.
