Every movie has the scene where the young hero suggests some wild course of action and the group is ready to dismiss them. Then, the old, trusted sage says, “that’s crazy enough that it just might work.” And then, of course, it does work.
These brownies are kind of that moment for me. As soon as you saw potato chips and brownies, I might have lost you. But, these are actually crazy enough that they work. Salted caramel is not a big leap. So caramel potato chips and caramel is pretty much the same thing. With chocolate thrown in. And a whole bunch of other treats. Think of this recipe as a big trust fall into my arms.
