Time 1h

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (14 ounce) bag individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, divided
1 (19.8 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup water
2 eggs
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup chopped pretzels
¾ cup chocolate chips
⅓ cup chocolate-covered toffee bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.
  • Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs together in a bowl until batter is well-combined. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Place caramel halves in 3 rows of 6 in the brownie batter so that there will be a caramel half in the center of each brownie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Melt remaining caramels, butter, and milk together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies and top with pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Tips:

  • Choose soft caramels. Softer caramels will easily melt into the brownies, creating a gooey, irresistible caramel filling. You can use store-bought caramels or make your own.
  • Grease your baking pan well. This will prevent the brownies from sticking and will make them easier to remove from the pan.
  • Do not over-mix the batter. Over-mixing will make the brownies tough and dry. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Over-baking will make the brownies dry and crumbly.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This will allow the caramel to set and will prevent the brownies from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Caramel pretzel brownies are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect batch of caramel pretzel brownies every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
