I like brownies, but generally I dont have time to make them from scratch. This is an easy way to dress up box brownies, and kill just about any sugar/chocolate craving you can imagine. They come out ooey and gooey in the middle and candy/crunchy on the bottom. You can't beat that.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh gosh, with a gooey middle these brownies are good. Hot chocolate sprinkled on the baking dish adds a slight crispness to the outside of the brownies. The chocolate sauce candies on top of the brownies creating a special, crunchy topping making these brownies truly supreme. They're quick, easy and will be a big hit with everyone.
