Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE chocolate! I also love caramel, and I particularly love the two together. They create a synergy where the sum is even GREATER than the parts. These caramel brownies are a perfect example. YUM!They have coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips in them, but any one (or all) of those things is optional. If you don’t like coconut, leave it out. These caramel brownies will still be delicious!
