Today its my birthday , 33 years old today , even though my darling husband seems to think i'm 34 . It makes him feel younger to believe that I think .
Last night a though I would make some brownies to have today . I have an awesome recipe that was posted by I lovely lady called Jenn on a forum I use to frequent and decided I would add a couple of Mars Caramel bars seeing I accidently bought a whole box of them in a recent online sale - opps .
Here is the finished product , rich fudgy brownies filled with chewy caramel chunks .
