  • Perfect for gatherings or as a sweet treat at home.
  • Customizable with various toppings or mix-ins.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 2 cups brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 cup caramel candies
  • ½ cup heavy cream

How to Make Chocolate Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the brown sugar and granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Whisk in the cocoa powder, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes.
  6. While the brownies are baking, prepare the caramel filling. In a small saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Remove the brownies from the oven and pour the caramel mixture over the baked layer, spreading it evenly.
  8. Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it gently over the caramel layer.
  9. Bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  11. For the ganache topping, melt additional chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth, then pour it over the cooled brownies. Let it set before slicing into squares.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Measure your ingredients accurately for consistent results.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add nuts for extra texture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Easy Variations

  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the ganache for a salted caramel twist.
  • Swirl in some peanut butter or Nutella for a delicious flavor blend.
  • Top with crushed nuts or sprinkles for added crunch and color.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
  • Fresh berries to lighten up the dessert.
  • A dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • A drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra flair.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy them warm.
