Simple Seasonal Brownie Recipe

OK- it's not really a " brownie recipe" as much a tip to make a great batch of brownies with a seasonal twist. We needed to bring a dish to Chellie's annual Halloween bash and were short on time and inspiration. Since we had a couple boxes of brownie mix in the cupboard, that was the dish. But here's the fun part...

In order to spruce them up a bit, we drizzled caramel on the top of each brownie and put a candy corn for decoration. And it was so easy, the kids had a great time doing it too.

The real trick for this easy recipe was not only using the boxed brownies but using the caramel apple wraps for the caramel. You know the ones that are already flattened and stretched to the size of an apple? (love them for the apples too!) We cut those into about 16 pieces per box of brownie. Once the brownies were cooked, cooled and cut, we placed the caramel pieces on top and put under the broiler for about one minute. Then while the caramel was still sticky, we placed the candy corn in the middle. So cute, so easy and so immediately gobbled up by party gremlins big and small. Try it!
