Caramel Toffee Brownies 1.0

I was going to make my usual brownies with a vanilla cookie swirl in the middle, but I was all like no no.....it must contain caramel....oh oh and toffee. Of course this led to a total side road of toffee making, but you have to roll with these things you know. The end result tasted wonderful, but they were on the gooey side. Did I mention they tasted....oh so wonderful? I had to chill them before removing them from the pan, however. Little too much caramel I am thinking....I'm thinking half what I used would be plenty for next time.

Just another look at the brownies...
