Oreo Caramel Brownie Bombs

Oreo Caramel Brownie Bombs - Here's what one fan had to say, "A coworker brought these in to the office yesterday. May I just say, they are the most delicious brownies I've ever had in my life, and I'm an almost 50-yr-old passionate foodie with a lifelong chocolate addiction. They're chewy, crunchy, gooey and soooo very chocolatey. Thank you for sharing this fantastic recipe!!"
