Deliciously rich Caramel Brownies combine fudgy chocolate brownie layers with a luscious caramel swirl, topped with melted semi-sweet chocolate chips for an indulgent dessert perfect for sharing.

  • Total Time: 50-55 minutes
  • Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Caramel Layer

  • 11 ounces Kraft caramels, unwrapped
  • ⅓ cup evaporated milk

Brownie Batter

  • 18 ounces brownie mix
  • 1 to 2 eggs (depending on brownie mix instructions)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water

Topping

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside to prepare for the batter.
  2. Melt Caramels: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the unwrapped caramels and evaporated milk. Stir constantly for 5 to 7 minutes to prevent burning until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and even.
  3. Prepare Brownie Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water until well combined following the package guidelines.
  4. Layer Brownie Batter: Spread about two-thirds of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating the bottom layer of the dessert.
  5. Add Caramel Layer: Dollop the caramel mixture evenly across the top of the brownie layer. Do not spread it down into the brownie batter; keeping the caramel on top forms a luscious swirl.
  6. Top With Remaining Batter: Add spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, dolloping it gently so some caramel peeks through.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  8. Chocolate Chip Topping: As soon as you remove the brownies from the oven, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the hot brownies to allow them to melt slightly.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting out with the parchment paper and cutting into 16 squares to serve.

Notes

  • Ensure to stir the caramel continuously while melting to prevent it from burning or sticking to the pan.
  • You can adjust the number of eggs (1 to 2) based on your preferred brownie texture or the brownie mix instructions.
  • If you want a more pronounced caramel swirl, avoid spreading the caramel – dolloping keeps it distinct.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal from the baking pan and cleaner edges.
  • Cool completely before cutting to get clean squares and prevent the caramel from running.
