How to Make Caramel Fudge Brownies

  1. Grease and flour an 8x12 inch baking pan.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, combine 14 ounces (397g) caramels and 1/2 cup (120ml) evaporated milk. Stir over medium heat until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Set the caramel mixture aside to cool slightly.
  5. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces or 432g) chocolate fudge cake mix, 1/2 cup (113g) melted unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (60g) chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk. Mix until a dough forms.
  6. Press half of the dough into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and evenly sprinkle 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips over the baked crust. Then, carefully dot and spread the cooled caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
  8. Spread the remaining brownie dough evenly over the caramel layer.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow them to set. Cut into squares and serve.
