    Peanut Butter Caramel Swirl Brownies are the best of it all! Fudgy brownies swirled with a peanut butter caramel and baked to perfection. Add to that a little bit of chocolate with sea salt and you have a piece of heaven that you likely will not want to share!

    Peanut butter, caramel, chocolate with sea salt.  Pure fudgy goodness!  That is what these brownies are.
    This chocolate is some of the best I have ever had....the dark chocolate with the sea salt...broken up into pieces and stirred into the brownie batter.

    The peanut butter caramel sauce, so good I could just eat it with a spoon.  It would be really yummy on ice cream too.  I'm definitely making the peanut butter caramel sauce again!

    The brownies made it to work today.  None of them made it home at the end of the day.

      Hi!I visited this recipe September last year,and dropped by to let you know I made these!
      Very nice,adding bits of Lindt to the brownie batter made it even more chocolaty.
      I had some leftover Peanut Butter Caramel Sauce,so I diluted it with a little cream the next day(Since it had become much more thicker by then) and heated it,poured it over some vanilla ice-cream and made myself Brownie A La Mode - Heaven on a plate!
