I love to cook. My family can't possibly eat all of the sweets I whip up, so my co-workers are more than happy to sample them—particularly these rich, chewy brownies that are full of gooey caramel, chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts. —Clara Bakke, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

Tip

Substitute for Nuts

If your family loves the crunch of nuts in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, but someone is allergic to them, add granola or crisp rice cereal in the same amounts as the nuts called for in your recipes. But, always check the granola or cereal packages for nut allergy alerts to be certain.

I brought these to a party where many professional chefs were in attendance and I heard that they were "the best brownies I have ever eaten" many times throughout the evening. I made them exactly the way the recipe was posted. The only thing I am not sure of was the baking cocoa, as I used semi-sweet baking squares and am not sure that is what it called for, but it is what I had on hand. I am making them for a Super Bowl party today!!

My daughters and I just made these and we can't wait to eat them! I know without even trying them that they will be amazing. We used a gluten free brownie mix and sprinkled red and green chopped m & m's on top, right after they came out of the oven. The girls can't wait to put some out for Santa!

Very good! Though as mentioned in other reviews it is much taller than shown. And I had to cook mine for longer than listed. (also rather heavy lifting in and out of the oven) But will definitely make again.

These were incredible! I put the 1/2 cup walnuts in the batter but on top I subbed 1/2 cup pretzel pieces. It gave it more of a salted caramel flair! When I make them again I'm planning on upgrading to a 10x15 pan and reducing the bake time. As is they ended up about twice as tall as pictured. Could it be an editing mistake...? Flavor made up for presentation though. Also I would do 1/4 swirled on top instead of 1/3 :)

These brownies are awesome!! They freeze well and they are great whether they are served warm or cold.

Delicious! These brownies were very good. Mine turned out taller than the ones in the picture, they were almost like a brownie sandwich. Would be delicious served warm with ice cream. Will definitely make again.

This was very very good. I bought the new caramel pieces to melt. The edges got a little crunchy, but we liked it that way!

Very easy to make and they make a great presentation as well. They were a huge hit for the folks at work!

My 14 year-old daughter first made these for Christmas four years ago. I didn't think that they would be special enough. Boy, was I wrong! They are a hit wherever we bring them.
