Chocolate Caramel Brownies

I can't think of a better way to get through a challenging week other than making some of the most delicious brownies on Earth. All I can say is that these brownies are ooey, gooey, and delicious and will put a smile on anyone's face!



What You Need

- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 11 ounces unwrapped caramel candies (the softer kind)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream

What You Do

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9X13 inch pan.

2. In a medium bowl, melt the butter (1cup) and chopped semi-sweet chocolate (12oz) over a pot of simmering water. Whisk occasionally until the ingredients are melted and then remove from heat.



3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the sugar (1 1/2cups), eggs (4), and vanilla extract (1tbsp) until well combined.

4. Once the butter and chocolate mixture are melted, remove from heat and slowly add it into the sugar mixture and mix until everything is combined. Then add the flour (1 1/4cups) and salt (1/2tsp) until just incorporated.



5. Evenly spread half of the brownie batter into the greased baking pan and bake for 18 minutes. Remove from oven, let cool, and start preparing the caramel mixture...remember to not turn off the oven!



6. For the caramel filling, place the caramel candies (11oz) and heavy cream (1/4cup) in a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat this process until mixture is just about melted. Once melted, spread the caramel over the bottom of the brownie layer. Then spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer. Lastly, sprinkle with chocolate chips.



7. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.

8. Lastly...cut up a couple pieces for yourself and a loved one and enjoy this scrumptious dessert!
