Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a mini-muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare brownies according to package directions.
Fill each cup about 3/4 full of batter. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven; immediately press a candy into the center of each brownie bite. The top of the candy will stick out a little from the brownie, no worries. It will be covered with icing. Cool for a couple of minutes in the pan, then carefully remove the brownie bites from the pan to a cooking rack. Cool completely.
Frosting:
Using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth.; add the caramel sauce* and blend. Add the powdered sugar; whip until creamy and smooth. Using a pastry or plastic bag with a piping tip, pipe the frosting onto the top of each brownie bite. Chill in the refrigerator to set the frosting a little before serving.
**Homemade caramel sauce:
Empty the contents of a small can of sweetened condensed milk into a saucepan. Stir constantly for 10 - 12 minutes over medium heat. (Do not let it scorch.) The milk will begin to deepen in color and thicken. Remove from heat when the caramel will thickly adhere to the back of your mixing spoon. The longer you cook it, the harder it will become when it cools until it is difficult to work with. To thin it, add a small splash of milk and mix well.
*You will only need 2 tablespoons caramel to make the icing. Use the remaining caramel for ice cream topping, straight off the spoon, etc.
Makes 24.
