Bary' Alyssa's mind-blowingly perfect chocolate brownies. [to. die. for.]

INGREDIENTS
- 4 squares of Baker's unsweetened chocolate
- 1/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup flour
[optional]
- 25 Kraft caramels
- 2 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS
1. Make sure to preheat oven to 350 degrees first thing. Then grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
2. Place 4 chocolate squares and 1 1/2 sticks butter in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes or until the better gets just to the melting point. Stir these ingredients continuously until the chocolate is completely melted.
3. Add 2 cups sugar to chocolate/butter mixture and mix well.
4. Add 4 eggs to the bowl and mix well.
5. Add 1 cup flour to the bowl and mix well.
6. Spread batter into the baking pan and place into the oven.
7. Bake brownies for 30-35 minutes - give or take - until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out with fudgy crumbles (Do not overbake or underbake! This timing part's a bit tricky - it'll come with practice)
AND OPTIONALLY - DURING BAKING:
- Place 25 caramels and 2 tablespoons of milk into a microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 2 1/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Stir slowly until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is well blended.
- Gently spread caramel mixture over brownies while they are still in the pan.
- Cool brownies in pan on wire rack.
- Store at room temperature in a tightly-covered container.

Enjoy!
