Caramel Sea Salt Brownies

I was watching television the other day and this recipe caught my attention. It was a recipe for caramel sea salt brownies. I thought about it and then I adapted the recipe a bit to create this. The recipe I saw explained to take a brownie mix and follow the directions for preparing the mix. Then you swirled caramel sauce on top of them before you baked them in the oven. After they were baked and you take them out of the oven you then sprinkle sea salt on top of them.
I went to the store in search of my items for this recipe. The first store did not have caramel sauce so I began to improvise with an ingredient. I thought I could chop up Ghirardelli milk & caramel filled squares into the batter. I thought to myself, go to another store for the caramel sauce. I did and I was most glad that I went there for it was in the search that I found the Smucker's caramel sauce and then also Ghirardelli dark & sea salt caramel squares. Now, my mind was already creating what to do with this updated creation before I ever even started to create. I prepared the Pillsbury brownie mix.  I then decided to place half of the mix in the pan, I took the two different caramel squares and laid them into the mix and covered them with the remaining mix. Baked them in the oven and when I took them out of the oven the caramel was just oozing from inside to the top and bubbly too. I then had fresh sea salt I ground on top of them. I hope the people at work like them for that is where their final demise will be.
Did I let you know that I love to create and share my creativity if it is a "hit" with you. I am trusting that it will be a hit with my fellow employees so that is why I am sharing it with you today. Have an enjoyable day today and why not be creative in the kitchen today. It is not only yummy but it is good to create.
Let me share this side note with you...I already had Ghirardelli brownie mix at home but I did not want to waste it in case the recipe did not turn out. That is why I purchased the $1.00 size Pillsbury brownie mix to experiment with this recipe. I must admit to you that lately when using this brand for making brownies (if I need to make a small batch and have it be economical) this brand has proved to be fine. I usually add items to the mix like chocolate chips.
Hum, I am already thinking of another brownie idea as I am writing this. I have some Andes chopped mints in the pantry. Why not create something with them? Just a thought...what about this? Add the chopped mints to the brownie mix and bake them. After taking them out of the oven while still warm why not place the chopped mints on top of the brownies and let them melt and once cooled you will then have a slight frosting on top of them. Now, this would be a recipe for those that like the taste of mint for I am imagining that it would be "minty" with chopped mints in the mix and then coating the top too. See what I am trying to share with you. When one is creating that allows the creativity to flow even more.
