This month we’re getting our lunchbox menus ready for Back to School.

It can be rough enough settling into a new school year. Give them something to look forward to to break up their day. Kids that pack their lunch look for a little special something in the box or bag. I always packed my daughter some cookies, Rice Krispies bars or cake. Nothing too messy to eat.

That was then. This is now. In the day of sani-wipes everywhere, we can splurge and get a bit on ya! So remember to pack a wet nap in the bag!

Salted Caramel Brownies make a good after school treat (or during school treat for Mom and Dad). These brownie bars are super easy to make. I cheated on the caramel sauce by using caramel candies and a bit of cream. You can use jarred sauce or make your own!

I go heavy on the sea salt. Sprinkle on whatever kind and amount you like.
Food for Thought…What’s your favorite brownie or bar? Are you a traditionalist with chocolate? Nuts or no nuts? Blondies? I’d love to hear your thoughts in a comment below!

Easy Salted Caramel Brownies

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

Yield: 9 to 12 pieces

Serving Size: 1 each

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
25 soft caramel candies, about a cup (I used Kraft)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon sea salt

Instructions

Melt butter and chocolate over low heat. Cool.
Stir in sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend in flour, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Spread batter into a prepared 8x8-inch pan. (I use greased parchment paper) Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely before adding caramel. Overnight is best.
When brownies are completely cooled, prepare easy caramel sauce. Place caramel and cream in a microwave safe container. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stir. Repeat until smooth.
Spread evenly over brownie. Sprinkle with sea salt. Chill completely before cutting.
