Caramel Brownies: Delicious way to use caramel

 My family always crave for caramel, not only the sauce but they love everything with caramel.

Even you can find it everywhere, I still think that homemade caramel is the best, because you can choose the stage of the caramel, the brand of whipping cream that you want to use or even the saltiness ^^. 
I just posted How to make caramel (video), and this recipe is one of many delicious ways that you can enjoy the caramel. (actually, just spreading it over a toast is great, and it's easier, hehe). So, if you already have the caramel sauce, you can use it in this recipe (you will need 120 g of it), and for anyone who don't want to make the caramel sauce, you can choose the easier way by melting soft caramel toffee and use it in this recipe too.
As the caramel is sweet, I use 70% dark chocolate in the recipe, and to add more chocolate punch, I place a lot of dark chocolate on top of the brownie (you can use more or less chocolate to suit your taste).
Because the caramel sauce is soft, you can't bake the brownie until fully set, just bake until the side of the brownie set. Remove it from the oven, let it cool and refrigerate to firm it up instead. If you love gooey texture, store the brownie in room temperature, but I suggest refrigerate before cutting to get neat pieces.
