Salted Caramel Brownies

Brownies:

• 1 box Duncan Hines Chewy Fudge Brownies
• 2 Eggs
• 1/4 Cup Water
• 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil

Salted Caramel Sauce:

• 1 cup sugar
• 6 tbl salted butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream + 2 tbl at room temperature

1. Sauce:

1. Melt the sugar in a large pot over medium to medium low heat.
2. Wait for the outside edges to melt, then drag a wooden spoon from the outside in to evenly distribute.
3. Mixture will look crumbly and dry, then melt together into a clear, thick liquid.
4. Continue to cook over medium low heat, stirring to keep from burning until the liquid turns a nice dark amber color. Do not burn- this stage happens quickly once melted.
5. Add the butter all at once. The caramel will foam vigorously, continue stirring.
6. Turn off the heat and add the cream, stirring until smooth
7. Cool sauce sauce until ready to use.
