Gluten Free Caramel Brownies

When I first decided to throw these together I admit that I had doubts in my mind. I love brownies. They are one of my favorite desserts. And I didn't think that they could get any better than they already were. But I was proven wrong.

I can't imagine anything more decadent than these brownies.

They are gooey, caremly, chocolately, rich and delicious. It almost feels bad to eat one. And so good. 

Oh, so good.
