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. 😉

Caramel Brownies
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:
- -These are really rich, so cut them into small pieces. That way you can have two. 🙂
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.
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.
