Notice how I left the "fitness" part of the title out? Yeah. After eating these brownies you definitely need some fitness to help burn off the sugar and calories.
It all started one night after I had diligently cleaned my entire house and was sitting enjoying the clean while playing Mario Cart with Madelyn and I had a sudden craving for salted brownies. My sister in law introduced me to this wonderful treat at Christmas so I ventured to the cabinet and discovered that Yes! I did have brownie mix! Then brilliance struck and I dug out some caramels I had for caramel apples and in a fit of PMS sugar / salt craving a star was born.

As soon as I pulled them out of the oven, I sprinkled them generously with the salt and oh my were they amazing!
This was a quick and easy treat that hit the spot while having a slightly more sophisticated flavor profile.
Super Simple Salted Caramel Brownies:
Brownie mix of choice (I chose Ultimate Fudge with Hersheys pouch)
Square Caramels
Course Salt (Sea salt is idea, but iodized works fine)
Prepare brownie mix as instructed on box, plop in the caramels as your heart desires and bake as directed. As soon as you pull it out of the oven, sprinkle on the salt.
Enjoy as soon as the caramel is cool enough to eat without plastering itself to the roof of your mouth.
