DONITA'S CARAMEL BROWNIES



Donita's Caramel Brownies image

Donita was a friend I met while living in Kentucky. She used to bring these brownies to potlucks and kindly shared the recipe with me. I have made my own changes over the years, but it is still basically the same recipe she used. You can add 1 cup chopped nuts if you like, however I feel these are rich enough without them.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 45m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (18 1/2 ounce) box German chocolate cake mix, unprepared (or a box of brownie mix, see notes)
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 1/2 sticks)
2/3 cup evaporated milk, divided (I have used both regular and light)
1 (14 ounce) bag Kraft caramels (48 squares) or 1 (14 ounce) bag chocolate riesen candies, unwrapped
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 F and line a 9x13" baking pan with foil. Grease the foil lightly.
  • Mix together the dry cake mix, melted butter, and just 1/3 cup of the evaporated milk.
  • Spread half of this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the unwrapped candies with the remaining 1/3 cup evaporated milk in the microwave (time will adjust based on your wattage, about 3 minutes).
  • When the first layer is done pre-baking, remove from the oven and cover with chocolate chips (and nuts if you are adding any).
  • Pour the melted caramel mixture all over the top.
  • Spoon the remaining raw batter in blobs all over the top and bake another 15-18 minutes.
  • Allow too cool, then lift out of the pan and cut with a large knife, using a rocking motion - they are very gooey and if you try to cut them too soon it will be very messy.
  • NOTE: If using brownie mix instead of cake mix, then skip the melted butter and the first 1/3 cup of evaporated milk and simply prepare the batter according to the brownie package instructions. Pour half the mixture into the pan, and then continue with the rest of the recipe as directed. You may also need to adjust the time for the brownies, a little longer until it is bubbling up. Keep these brownies in the fridge to firm up.

CARAMEL BROWNIES

Categories     dessert

Time 3h10m

Yield 16 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus more for greasing pan
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Half of a 14-ounce can dulce de leche
Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).
  • In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted. Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined. Stir in the eggs. Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated. Pour the batter (it will be very thick!) into the prepared pan.
  • Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl. Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter. Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter. Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick. If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges). Allow to cool completely (important!), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
5 to 6 ounces good caramel sauce, such as Fran's
2 to 3 teaspoons flaked sea salt, such as Maldon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 x 12 x 1 1/2-inch baking pan.
  • Melt the butter, 8 ounces of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium bowl set over simmering water. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature (see note below).
  • In a medium bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt and add to the chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl and add them to the chocolate mixture. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake!
  • As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it's pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.

CHOCOLATE CARAMEL BROWNIES RECIPE



Chocolate Caramel Brownies Recipe image

Chocolate Caramel Brownies are so yummy and easy to make. They are covered in creamy caramel.

Provided by Contributor

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter
12 ounces bitter sweet chocolate chips (or semi sweet, coarsely chopped)
1 ½ cups sugar
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 ¼ cup flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cup pecans (chopped (optional))
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
14 ounces caramels (unwrapped)
¼ cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan generously with Pam or for easy cleanup line pan with foil and grease the foil really well with butter or non stick cooking spray. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave in intervals of 1 minute at 50% power until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth, stirring in between intervals.
  • Whisk in the sugar, eggs and vanilla until incorporated. Stir in the flour and salt just until combined.
  • Spread about half of the brownie batter in the bottom of the prepared pan in an even layer. Bake for 18 minutes. While they are baking, make the caramel filling.
  • Meanwhile, while the brownies are cooking, add the chopped pecans (if using) to a medium skillet over medium heat. Toast, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and light golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • To make the caramel filling, combine the caramels and cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir. Repeat the process, keeping a close eye on the mixture as it can burn very easily (make sure you use low heat in the microwave). Continue the microwave process until the caramels and cream are melted and combined. Stir in half of the pecans to the caramel mixture. Immediately spread the caramel mixture over the bottom brownie layer.
  • Scoop the remaining brownie batter in spoonfuls over the caramel layer and spread it evenly across the caramel layer (spooning the batter in piles over the caramel will help to get an even layer of batter over the caramel).
  • Sprinkle the chocolate chips and the remaining pecans on top of the final brownie layer. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving. I found the brownies sliced easier once they had been cooled and refrigerated for an hour or two.
  • Slice the brownies and lift from the pan with a spatula, or lift using the edges of the foil. Remove the foil and cut the brownies into individual squares. Store in an airtight container.

THE BEST CARAMEL BROWNIES



The Best Caramel Brownies image

This is an easy recipe to make for those unexpected needs that arise. I always keep the ingredients on hand. Everyone always requests this recipe.

Provided by DiAnna2

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 38m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces caramels, wrappers removed
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box German chocolate cake mix
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Mix (by hand) cake mix with 1/4 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup melted butter; add nuts if using.
  • Batter will be stiff.
  • Press half of batter into bottom of 9 x 13-inch pan. I use wax paper and a small rolling pin to make this process easier.
  • Bake at 350° for 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt caramels with 1/2 cup evaporated milk in microwave or in double boiler.
  • Remove bottom layer from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips, then drizzle with caramel.
  • Top with remaining batter by rubbing batter between fingers and dropping evenly (will not cover completely).
  • Bake 18- 20 minutes.
  • Let cool before cutting.

Tips:

  • To achieve a fudgy brownie, use melted chocolate instead of cocoa powder.
  • For a crispy brownie, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • To prevent over-baking, insert a toothpick into the center of the brownie; if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, the brownies are done.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough brownie.
  • Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them, as this will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Caramel Brownies are a delicious and decadent treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey caramel center, they are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
