Hi Guys! I am excited to be guest posting for Rachel as she takes some much needed time to juggle two busy kids! For those of you who do not know me, I am Carrie from Bakeaholic Mama. I am a stay-at-home mom of three adorable crazy kids, and I have a major addiction to butter and sugar. We all have our addictions, Rachel, for instance, has a problem with popcorn. I, on the other hand, have a real problem with brownies.
All of you moms out there know what it’s like to try and lose those extra pounds and the kangaroo pouch after the babies are born. I find myself counting calories, working out.. and the entire time I am dreaming of things filled with ooey gooey chocolate, slathered in caramel.
It’s a problem. What does a mom who loves brownies but wants to spend the summer in a bikini do?
My solution? Make the brownies!
But only a small batch! If you are like me, things with caramel and chocolate do not stand a chance. You have issues with self control. That big 9×13 pan of fudgy goodness is going to be eaten. It just happens before you know it.
However, a smaller batch of brownies made in a mini muffin pan will ensure you only have a bite or two. Right? Well, maybe.

Thanks so much, Carrie! These look divine!

These were delicious! More of a dark chocolate brownie, which I loved. I used smuckers caramel sauce on top, which was a little runny but still tasted great! They did get a little over baked though, I should’ve done more like 13 minutes.
