Caramel Swirl Chocolate Chip Brownies

Call me crazy but I've never been big on Brownies.

My mom never made brownies for us growing up.

I honestly have no memories of 1 brownie.

I mostly remember cookies, pies and cake, from a box ;)

Anywho, so I wanted to make a brownie that I could really enjoy!

1st of all, has to be Homemade!

Brownies made from a mix is pretty boring to me.

2nd, Caramel sounded like a pretty good idea!

3rd, I like texture in my brownies 

so Chocolate chips was a must!

AND... this recipe is definitely a Winner!

It has everything I could love in a brownie!

It's more of a Fudgy brownie rather than a Cakey brownie...which I prefer!

Hope you Enjoy!
