Salted caramel brownies
OK, Cooking Light. I like your magazine. I do. Every month I cook several recipes found in your pages. But sometimes I have to question the "light" part.

Mock apple pie with streusel and caramel
This was the best apple pie I've ever made.* And it wasn't even apple pie! Let me explain. You see, several months ago, my co-worker Joetopia was complaining about a recipe in Heloise's column, as he is wont to do. It was a recipe for a mock apple pie, which was made not with apples, …

Caramel candy brownies
Brownies may be my favorite dessert. It’s them or chocolate chip cookies, depending on the day. Usually my brownies come from a boxed mix made by Ghirardelli or Hershey’s.
