Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

• Fry the bacon until crisp. Drain and crumble. Set aside.

• Prepare the brownie batter according to the package directions up to the point of mixing the batter. Do not bake. Set the bowl aside.

• Pour ½ of the batter into a 13-by-19-inch pan.

• In a medium bowl, combine the caramel sauce, salt and crumbled bacon.

• Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 15 to 20 seconds or until it is loose enough to be poured atop the batter.

• Pour onto the batter in an even layer, smoothing with a spatula if necessary.

• Cover with the remaining ½ of the brownie batter.

• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting.
