How to Make The Best Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate fudge brownie mix, 1/4 cup evaporated milk, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Mix well until just combined.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  4. The batter will be thick. Press half of the batter evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. (Using wax paper and a rolling pin helps for even distribution).
  5. Bake for 8 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt 14 oz caramel candies with 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  7. Remove the partially baked brownie layer from the oven. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  8. Drizzle the melted caramel mixture over the chocolate chips.
  9. Crumble the remaining brownie batter evenly over the caramel layer using your fingers (or a spoon).
  10. Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
