Fudgy Salted Caramel Brownies

Fudgy Salted Caramel Brownies – Rich, fudgy brownies that are filled with a layer of gooey salted caramel.

We all know by know that I am a huge fan of brownies. There are close over 30 Brownie Recipes on this site right now. You really can mix in so many different things or top them with the ultimate Chocolate Frosting to turn them into something new.

Well today we are layering with salted caramel for a decadent and delicious treat everyone will go cray for!

What You’ll Need

• Unsweetened Chocolate
• Vegetable Oil
• Eggs
• Granulated Sugar
• All-Purpose Flour
• Salt
• Caramels
• Evaporated Milk
• Sea Salt

I like to use premade caramels for this recipe, they are just easier. All you need to do is unwrap them, and then melt with the evaporated milk for a gooey and delicious center to the brownies.

And if you want to go completely over the top like i did, topping with ice cream and Homemade Hot Fudge Sauce is a great idea!

How To Make Salted Caramel Brownies

1. In a microwave safe bowl combine caramels and evaporated milk. Microwave for 45 seconds at a time until smooth, stirring well after each interval. Once the are completely melted set aside.
2. In a bowl combine melted chocolate with canola oil. Beat in sugar and eggs until completely incorporated. Stir in flour and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.
3. Pour 1/2 of the brownie batter into the bottom of prepared dish. Using your fingers if necessary, spread out in a thin layer.
4. Pour melted caramel mixture over the top. Sprinkle sea salt over the caramel. Drop small pieces of batter over the caramel mixture. It will not completely cover, but that is ok.
5. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the top is set, and a tester comes out mainly clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool before serving.

Recipe Tips

1. Butter vs vegetable oil – really either works, it depends on the recipe. I usually use oil, but have a couple recipes with butter. Butter can be a little more greasy and with the caramel in this recipe, I like the oil better.
2. Cocoa powder vs melted chocolate – again both work. You can even look at the back of your cocoa powder container to see what the substitution is. So if you don’t have one, you can definitely substitute the other.
3. Use a spatula – you do not need an electric mixer for brownies, just a bowl and a spatula.
4. Sea Salt – the salt in this recipe doesn’t make the brownies salty. It just balances out the flavor and gives it a little something extra.
5. Don’t over bake – this is the biggest tip whenever you are making any type of baked good. When you take the pan out of the oven, it is still super hot, as are the brownies. so they will continue to cook. You can use a toothpick to test, and you still want some crumbs on it, not coated in raw dough, but if it comes out clean and dry, your brownies are already over done. So test a little on the early side if you aren’t sure.
