I am grateful for a new year, with a fresh start! The year 2011 brought a lot of experiences in my life that has made me change the way I look at life, and I have truly grown from my challenges and spiritual experiences that I have had. I'm grateful for all of my trials and happy moments! I want to be able to think of ways to be happy EVERY SINGLE DAY! Life is too short to spend it being sad or down. I'm no blogger, so I hope that my desire to do this everyday will continue. I know that if we stay positive, and look up in life, anything negative will become a positive experience! With that said..........Let's Smile!

SMILE #173 Caramel Brownies


When I married into the Hunsaker family, I didn't quite know all the yummy treats my mother in-law had up her sleeve!  She's got so many, it's hard to say that I have a single favorite, but ONE of my many favorites that she makes is Caramel Brownies!  I just made some, and they are divine!  Chocolate + Caramel = SMILING!

Make yourself smile today, and make some of your own!  Here is the recipe:


Carmel Brownies

1 Betty Crocker German Chocolate Cake Mix
½ C. Melted Butter
2/3 C. Evaporated milk (use 1/3 cup at a time)
14 oz. bag Kraft Caramels (about 50 squares)
1 C. semi sweet chocolate chips
Chopped walnuts (optional)

Melt caramels slowly in a sauce pan with 1/3 c. evaporated milk.  Meanwhile, mix (with a fork) dry cake mix, margarine and 1/3 c. evaporated milk.  Press ½ of cake mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 pan and bake at 350 for 8 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.  Pour melted caramel on top.  Add walnuts (if desired) on part or all.  Crumble remaining cake mixture on top.  Bake 18 minutes.  Cool. (It's easiest to cut and serve after it has sat overnight.)

ENJOY!!!
