I can't believe it is already week four of the 12 weeks of Christmas cookies. I didn't have a lot of time this week so I wanted to make something easy but yummy. Who doesn't love brownies and caramel? This would be perfect to make when you don't have a lot of time and you need a fabulous dessert, hostess gift or a dessert to share. And it only requires five ingredients!
Dulce de Leche Brownies
1 box brownie mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
pecans, optional
Make brownies according to box directions. Once you remove the brownies from the oven, make the frosting. In a saucepan, combine condensed milk and butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until bubbly. Cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes more or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour frosting over brownies, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with nuts. Cool completely before cutting.

This is the first time I've seen a recipe for dolce de leche that is so quick and easy. I can definitely see myself making that to frost all kinds of cakes now that I know how to do it. Thanks for the tip.
