Oh great Pioneer Woman, why must you be so cruel?

First you post a picture of this.

Which inspires me to make a second trip to Wegman's in one day just to get the right stuff to make this marvelous work of dessertship.


Then I spend gratuitous amounts of time (I'm sure would have otherwise been spent doing excessive laundry, dusting and molecular science) attempting to duplicate such a lovely creation.
And the result is this very suspicious substance.


The brownie part is really good, when you peel off the stretchy elastic caramel layer.

But peeling off caramel is just not an activity that should be humanly possible.
