Caramel Brownies Ingredients

Substitutions and Additions

BROWNIES: If you have a favorite homemade brownie recipe, you could directly substitute it for the box mix.  

How to Make Caramel Brownies

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside.

PRO TIP: You can use a 9×13-inch baking dish for a very thin caramel brownie or you can double the recipe.

STEP TWO: Place unwrapped caramels and the evaporated milk in a small saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring constantly so the caramels do not burn, until the caramels are completely melted, and the mixture is evenly smooth (5 to 7 minutes).

PRO TIP: Melting the caramel candies with the evaporated milk helps to keep the caramel nice and smooth and creamy in the center rather than crisping up.

STEP THREE: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together brownie batter ingredients.

STEP FOUR: Spread two-thirds of the brownie batter into the lined baking dish.

STEP FIVE: Spread the caramel mixture over the brownie batter. Dollop it across the top so that you are not spreading the caramel down into the brownie batter.

PRO TIP: Drop the caramel layer across the surface rather than pouring it into one spot and trying to spread it. Drop the top layer of brownie batter over the top to get some of the crackling of the caramel coming through after cooking.

STEP SIX: Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top of the caramel.

STEP SEVEN: Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the hot brownies.

STEP EIGHT: Allow to cool completely before cutting.
