These brownies were a bit dense for my taste, but I think that's just because I didn't bake them for quite long enough. Next time, I'll bake them for an extra few minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, so I omitted it from the recipe. The brownies were still very good, but I think they would have been even better with the caramel.

I had some trouble finding macadamia nuts, but I was able to substitute them with chopped walnuts. The brownies still turned out great!

These brownies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, they were delicious!
