Caramel Brownies

I love a good brownie, and I really love a good caramel brownie. A warm, chocolatey, messy, gooey brownie, full of caramel, melting chocolate and topped with ice cream. The kind of brownie that, at least for me, is usually a mess to make, and if my kids are involved, always a mess to eat!

Oh yeah, THAT kind of brownie.

These aren’t just packed with caramel, they are also topped with chocolate chips. Kind of going with “more is more”.

For these brownies you can either start with a from scratch brownie recipe, or go with a box mix. I LOVE to doctor up a box mix, so that’s what I did with these. I used a few different kinds of caramel in these. I stirred about 1/2 cup of caramel ice cream sundae topping right into my brownie mix. After placing a layer of brownie batter on the bottom of my pan, I poured in a layer of melted caramels. After removing them from the oven, I drizzled some caramel sauce over the top. And of course if you are serving them with ice cream, a little caramel sauce to finish it off is perfect.

To make this from scratch, try my EASY BROWNIES recipe instead of a box mix!
