Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the melted caramel mixture. If you don't have German or Swiss chocolate mix, you can substitute with a combination of cocoa powder and sugar to taste. Make sure not to overbake the brownies; they should be soft in the center. For a nutty crunch, feel free to add walnuts or pecans to the batter.
