Unlike the traditional Caramel Brownie Recipe on the blog, this one features a full layer of caramel. Instead of just drizzling caramel on top or adding caramel bits, the creamy caramel is baked right into the brownies as a filling. Begin by making the traditional brownie recipe with its delicious chocolatey taste. After baking one layer of chocolate, spread the creamy caramel filling, and complete the dessert with another layer of brownie on top.. The entire recipe is like a yummy sandwich made with chocolate and caramel brownies.

Along with the delicious creamy caramel, this recipe boasts a deep chocolate flavor. Not only do you get the classic chocolate brownie taste from cocoa powder, but there are also chocolate chips mixed into the batter for double the chocolatey goodness. The chocolate morsels melt during baking, so if you eat the Caramel Stuffed Brownies while they’re still warm, you’ll enjoy little pieces of melted chocolate in every bite.

Ingredients

• Brownie Batter: The base recipe is crafted with standard brownie ingredients like eggs, oil, milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and a few other pantry staples, creating classic chocolate brownies.
• Chocolate Chips: To enhance the chocolatey goodness, semisweet chocolate chips are added. Simply fold the chips into the batter before baking to introduce pockets of melting chocolate throughout the fudgy brownie recipe.
• Caramel Layer: The homemade caramel sauce is made using store-bought caramel squares and sweetened condensed milk. Melting simple caramel squares is a quick way to achieve a rich and sweet caramel flavor. The sweetened condensed milk contributes to a creamy and soft texture, making it easy to spread over the brownie layer.

Variations

• Chocolate Chips: To make your brownies sweeter, use tasty milk chocolate chips. If you like a more bitter taste, swap the semisweet chocolate with dark chocolate. You can also mix different types of chocolate chips into the brownie batter.
• Mix-ins: For a crunchier texture, add chopped nuts to the Caramel Stuffed Brownie recipe. You can also mix in toffee bits, M&Ms, or broken candy bars.
• Toppings: If you want to add some flair, melt chocolate to drizzle on top of the brownies, or melt caramel for a caramel drizzle. Another option is to put a dollop of whipped cream on each brownie before serving.
• Peanut Butter Stuffed Brownies: Craving chocolate and peanut butter? Replace the caramel filling with a layer of peanut butter. Most types of peanut butter work well—just avoid natural peanut butter. Heat the peanut butter to make it thinner, spread it over the first layer of brownies, then add the remaining batter and bake.

How to Store

• Serve: If you wrap the fudgy brownies in plastic wrap or tin foil, they will stay fresh for 3-4 days at room temperature.
• Store: Keep covered brownies in the fridge, and they’ll stay good for up to 5 days.
• Freeze: You can also freeze Caramel Stuffed Brownies. For best results, slice the brownies into squares, place them in a freezer bag with parchment paper between the layers, and they will stay good for 3 months.

Yield: 24 Servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup whole milk
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 4 large large eggs
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 14 ounces caramel, unwrapped
• 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. First, heat your oven to 350 degrees and use baking spray on a 9×13 baking pan.
2. In a big bowl, mix together oil and eggs. Then, add sugar and milk, and whisk well.
3. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt by sifting them together. Add this dry mix to the wet mix and whisk until just combined.
4. Now, stir in the chocolate chips. Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter evenly in the baking pan.
5. Bake for 12 minutes. While it’s baking, use a medium saucepan on medium heat to whisk together unwrapped caramels and sweetened condensed milk until smooth.
6. After the bottom layer has baked, pour the caramel sauce over it. Wait 5 minutes, then gently spoon on the remaining brownie batter in an even layer.
7. If you have flaky sea salt, sprinkle it on top. If not, skip this step or avoid using regular table salt.
8. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean (not wet with brownie batter).
