Caramel Brownies . . . gooey caramel sandwiched between layers of chocolatey brownies. Does it get any better?
These brownies have been a favorite of mine for years. I can’t make them often because they are sinfully addicting. Seriously, I can’t stop eating them. Just look at that ooey gooey caramel layer!
These caramel brownies start with a chocolate cake mix, so they are also easy to make. The hardest part is unwrapping all the caramels. I can usually talk one of my kids into doing that job. 😉

Absolutely decadent brownies with a caramel pecan layer in the middle.
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (I like dark chocolate or devil's food.)
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup melted butter or margarine
Filling:
- 50 caramels, unwrapped
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup coconut (optional)
- Notes:
Instructions
- Well grease a 9x13" cake pan and set aside. (I use the non-stick spray from Costco.)
- Mix cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, and butter in a mixing bowl till smooth. Spread half of batter into your prepared pan and bake at 350° for 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring often.
- Remove brownies from oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips, pecans, and coconut evenly over top. Pour the melted caramel evenly over everything.
- Top with remaining dough. I take pieces of the dough and flatten them in my hands (kinda like play-doh) and place them over the top. It’s okay if you have small gaps.
- Bake for 15-18 more minutes.
Notes
-While brownies are still warm, go around the edge of the pan with a knife or metal spatula to pull the caramel away from the sides. Cool brownies completely before cutting.
-These are really rich, so cut them into small pieces. That way you can have two. 🙂

For the cake mix, do I add the eggs and oil or no?
Nope, no eggs or oil. Just the evaporated milk and butter. You will have a thick dough.
