#8 Goodmorning sunshine!!!! and Caramel Brownies

Let me tell you about a little train ride I take every morning.
'Train ride' would be putting it mildly,sugarcoating it.
Lets be honest,you and me both know its nothing short of the russian circus.
Before you think I'm being a drama queen,let me show you how I figured this out:
1.Elephant in shiny outfit+clown+that lady who squeezes herself into a little box=circus
2.Big lady dressed in blindingly(is that even a word?)sequined outfit+clown who won't shut up+Annoying lady who thinks she can fit everywhere=morning train
See,there is clearly a pattern here.
And what is the deal with climbing on top of each other to rush in as soon as the train pulls in?
I mean it's going to STOP.
Did they not tell you that?

Now how do you put up with going through that every single day?
Why, you make brownies on the weekend,of course!!

Hopefully I'll get a chance to try out this recipe :)
Now,pray,that you've been nice to me lately :)

Caramel Brownies
Annies Eats

Yield: 24+ brownies
Ingredients:
For the brownies:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1½ cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp. salt
1½ cups pecan, coarsely chopped (optional)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

For the caramel filling:
14 oz. caramel candies, unwrapped
1/3 cup heavy cream

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.  Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and grease the foil well with butter or cooking spray.  Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.  Heat, stirring occasionally, until completely melted and smooth.  (Alternatively, microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.)  Remove the bowl from the heat.  Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until incorporated.  Stir in the flour and salt just until combined.  Spread about half of the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove from the oven, maintaining the oven temperature, and let cool for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, add the chopped pecans (if using) to a medium skillet over medium heat.  Toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and light golden brown.  Remove from the heat and set aside.  To make the caramel filling, combine the caramel candies and cream in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.  Heat, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth.  Stir in half of the pecans.  Immediately spread the caramel mixture over the bottom brownie layer.  Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, taking care to pour and spread it evenly otherwise it will be difficult to spread evenly over the caramel layer.  Sprinkle the chocolate chips and the remaining pecans on top of the final brownie layer.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving.  (To speed cooling, chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.)

Lift the brownies from the pan using the edges of the foil.  Remove the foil and cut the brownies into individual squares.  Store in an airtight container.
