Caramel Brownies
Absolutely decadent caramel turtle brownies with an irresistible ooey gooey caramel middle.
Ingredients
Brownies:
- 1 15 ounce box chocolate cake mix I like dark chocolate or devil's food.
- ⅓ cup evaporated milk
- ⅔ cup melted butter or margarine
Filling:
- 50 caramels unwrapped
- ⅓ cup evaporated milk
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¾ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Well grease a 9x13" cake pan and set aside. (I use the non-stick spray from Costco.) For extra easy clean up, you can line the pan with parchment paper.
- Stir together cake mix, 1/3 cup of evaporated milk, and melted butter in a mixing bowl till smooth. Spread half of batter into your prepared pan and bake at 350° for about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt caramels and 1/3 cup evaporated milk in a glass bowl in the microwave, stirring often.
- Remove brownies from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips and chopped pecans over top. Pour the 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 18-20 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted just in the top layer comes out with moist crumbs, not batter.
- For easiest cutting, cool completely.
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.
- These are really rich, so cut them into small pieces.
