Wow, these are sinfully good. They turned out great and were chocolatey and gooey, and the caramel sauce was fantastic. If you love chocolate, buttery caramel, and are a sweet and salty fan, these brownies will send you over the moon. I would highly recommend these to both brownie and caramel lovers :) I will definitely be buying these brownies again.

I would typically make snacks fully from scratch, but when I was sick, I needed a simpler solution. The various Duncan Hines mixes were on sale for 1$ so it seemed like a great opportunity to try it out!

It was indeed simpler than making it fully from scratch. Simply add water, eggs and oil (or applesauce) to the mix. The salted caramel sauce is in a separate package (aka, if you would prefer to use it on something else like drizzling it on ice cream, you could).

I discovered that I didn't have the square pan as indicated on the box, I therefore made it in a muffin pan. (Just a note if someone else makes it that way, I would guess that it would have been ready at 350 after about 28 minutes in my oven - I gave it a few extra minutes because the toothpick wasn't coming out fully clean, but it would have been better with a few less minutes). The taste was very good. It came out a little on the dry side, but that was probably my fault. The salted caramel sauce does indeed taste like salted caramel which is good. Overall, I think it would be worthwhile trying again.
