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

Ingredients
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate , melted

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8 inch baking dish. Or line with foil, and spray with non-stick spray.

- In a bowl combine melted chocolate with canola oil. Add sugar, and eggs. Mix until well combined. Stir in flour and salt. Fold in chocolate chips.

Very beautiful brownies, it happened I had the same feeling with the salty sweet combination, only lately started to enjoy it. Salted caramel with chocolate is a perfect combination.

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
