Caramel Brownie Bars

Are you craving a yummy, chocolatey caramel bar? I had found this on Facebook and I thought, "YUM!!! I need to make this!" So here it is!

Ingredients 

• 1 box of Betty Crocker brownie mix
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 c. water
• 2/3 c. vegetable oil
• 3 cups of pretzels
• 1 jar of caramel sauce (or in my case, 2 bags of Werther's chewy caramels) ;)
• sea salt

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Take a 9x13 pan and line it with parchment paper.

Step 2.
Prepare the box of brownie mix according to the box.
 

Step 3.
Pour 1/3 of the batter onto the parchment paper and spread evenly. Lay down the pretzels evenly over the brownie mix.  Spoon the remaining brownie mix over the pretzels completely and let it seep into every crack. After the oven is preheated to 350 degrees put the bars in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 4.
After the 30 minutes of baking are up, you can poke a toothpick in and if it comes out clean it is done. :)

Step 5.                                                                                                                                                       

The directions I found on Facebook said to use a jar of caramel, but sadly I could not find any at the local gas station so I grabbed 2 bags of Werther's chewy caramels. I unwrapped the caramels, placed them in a bowl and melted them in the microwave until they were a creamy caramel sauce. Though, I would definitely suggest using caramel sauce. ;)

 

Step 6.
After you pour the caramel sauce onto the bars and they are cooled, pinch some sea salt onto the bars and voilà! YUMMY, YUMMY CARAMEL BROWNIE BARS!! :)
