Ingredients
- 1 box 18 oz brownie mix (plus ingredients required by the package, such as eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup caramel sauce or caramel bits
- 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Make the Brownie Batter
- Prepare the brownie batter according to the package instructions. Set aside.
- Create the Caramel Filling
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel sauce or caramel bits with the butter and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Layers
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 10 minutes to set the bottom layer.
- Remove from the oven and carefully pour the caramel sauce over the baked layer. Spread gently, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top and gently spread to cover the caramel and chocolate.
- Bake the Brownies
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the edges comes out clean.
- Cool and Slice
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the layers. For clean slices, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
