On Friday I shared with you my Dark Chocolate Mint Cupcakes that are part of a competition with Nestle.  When they asked me to create something for them, I actually created two chocolate treats.  This is the other recipe I tested.  I was really happy when caramel was selected as the ingredient for this months #chocolateparty, because then I had a reason to share them with you right away!

These salted caramel brownies are really more than I hoped they would be.  I am not big on the salty/sweet combo (gasp…I know), but I absolutely loved these.  They were so fudgy, and gooey, and oozing with caramel you couldn’t help but fall in love.  I decided to take it to the next level and top the brownies with ice cream and homemade hot fudge sauce.  Seriously, not sure it gets any better!

Fudgy Salted Caramel Brownies

I am firmly in the fudgy brownie camp.  I made a few slight adjustments to the recipe I have been using since I was a little girl to come up with this new fudgier version.  I melted pre-made caramels to pour over the brownie batter, and then sprinkled with a generous serving of sea salt.  The brownies don’t actually taste salty.  It just gives them that something extra that makes them special.

    I’ve made three caramel brownies to share for this month chocolate party but none turned out as gorgeous as yours, thus I shared cookies, so I HAVE to try your recipe. That, after I stop staring at yours and wipe clean my keyboard

  3. […] This sauce is so smooth, velvety, and rich.  It comes together in 10 minutes, and lasts in the fridge for at least a month.  You can see I used it here to top some brownies. […]
