I haven’t eaten any sugar in about 2 weeks. (well, except for those few pieces of dark chocolate but those don’t count) I know. It’s a sin. I don’t know what the heck is wrong with me. But not to worry – I remedied this problem a few days ago when I made these sinful Caramel Brownies. Holy cow. They totally changed my life.
Let me preface this recipe by saying these brownies are not for the faint hearted. They are decadent.
They will make your mouth water and any self control that you think you have – well it might just fly out the window when you crack into the brownie pan!
Go make these now. You can thank me later. Just go for it. And enjoy. And eat them straight out of the pan with a spoon – because they are better that way!
| Caramel Brownies |
Recipe Type: Dessert
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 20 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp vanilla paste or 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup AP flour
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
- 10 oz caramels
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
Instructions
- In a small pot combine the peeled caramels and evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat and stir until all caramels are melted.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray and line a 9×9 baking tin with parchment.
- In a pot over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa power and salt and mix for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla paste and eggs and combine. Stir in the flour and set aside.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepare pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, pour the caramel mixture over the brownies. If the brownie batter gets mixed in – no need to worry! Top the caramel mixture with the chocolate chips and the remaining brownie batter. Just scoop the brownie batter over the caramel with a spoon. Finish baking for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 90 minutes before slicing into these brownies.
- *Note – these are best eaten with a spoon directly out of the pan – just sayin*

These look to be finger-licking good!! I have an after tennis match get together and am designated to bring a snack. I think these would be perfect – so I am off to the market with my basket to pick up some ingredients. I can always count on you for some great ideas.
Gaby, people have gone to hell for less than this

Anything with chocolate and caramel is going to take the cake!

Must…make…IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
Delicious! These look so wonderful! I might need to avoid sugar for two weeks too, to be able to eat these
Thanks for sharing!
These look incredible. I love brownies that are rich and moist, and your caramel ones would certainly fit the bill. I’m imagining how great these would be with a sprinkling of sea salt on top.
Looks delicious! I would definitely eat these for breakfast!
These look amazing. Just the way I like them – with a spoon straight from the pan!
Brownies….caramel….and chocolate chips! Yup….another must bake!
Awesome, Gaby! This takes my plain ‘ole brownies to a whole new level!
I totally WOULD eat them straight from the pan! Great recipe!
Is there any other way to eat brownies, other than straight out of the pan?
There is no sweet I enjoy in this world more than caramel brownies! This recipe looks absolutely ah-maaaazing and I am very excited to make them and eat the whole pan with a spoon, while watching some trashy reality TV!
I’m fairly certain I could eat a whole pan of these.
These brownies would be sooooo difficult to resist. Especially straight outta the oven. OMG girl!
Forgo the spoon and use your hands!
I NEED THESE.
If you are going to break a no-sugar streak, this is definitely the way to do it!
These are not just decadent. They are mouthgasmic! And I want to make them!! Wow, Gaby!
Amazing!!! chocolate + caramel = my two fave good groups!
Is this the infamous pan of brownies in the back of the fridge? If so, I can see why you hid it. DROOL!!
wow…I need to try these! Great recipe Gaby!
These look amazing! I might just have to stray from my diet for the day to make these!
yummmmm…i’m making these tonight!
YUM!!!!
Wow, thank you Gaby! My family and I are Baha’is and this is our time of fasting, so these are going to soooo hit the spot tonight! You’re so awesome!
Oh. My. Word. These look amazing! I want to make a panful right now just for me and my spoon!
These brownies look absolutely mouth-watering! I absolutely cannot wait to try out the recipe- thanks for sharing!
Wow – this looks divine and truly decadent. Just reading the post satiated my sugar fix!
Oh gawd Gaby, these look sinful! Perfectly sinful!
These look amazing… but I fear I have no self control. I may have to divide the recipe into 15th’s so I can eat a reasonable amount.
I made this for father’s day (a while ago) and HOLY COW it was soooo good! Usually, every person in my family has different tastes when it comes to desserts, but this was looooooved by everyone. It may be in my top recipes!
In your list of ingredients, you call for 3/4 cup evaporated milk, but in the listed steps, only use 1/2 cup. What’s up?
Thanks for catching the Jane!! The ingredients should just call for 1/2 cup of evaporated milk and that gets combined with the caramels! Thanks so much
