Make the brownie mixture and bake in a dish or deep tray.
Once the brownie is cooked, cut in half.
Once the caramel has cooled, pour over one half of the brownie, then immediately cover over with the second half.
Store in the refrigerator then cut into 6 x 6cm squares.
Extra Indulgent Suggestion:
Cut the squares in half diagonally to make mini club sandwiches.
