Kitchen Experiment #12--Caramel Brownies

You may be wondering why this is named kitchen experiment #12. This recipe goes back a few years (and just a few! maybe more than I want to admit, but just a few) to my college days in the dorms. Some of us liked to get together and try new recipes. This was one of them and although my memory is a bit fuzzy, I'm guessing it was the 12th recipe we tried. :)

These brownies are super rich and require a large glass of ice cold milk to accompany them. They are easy to make though, so give them a try!
