Ingredients

Scale

1 (18 oz) box fudge brownie mix (like Duncan Hines)

¼ c water

½ c vegetable oil

2 large eggs

½ c + 2 tbsp (6 oz) sweetened condensed milk, divided

11 oz Caramel Bits, or wrapped caramels

Chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a 9×9 inch baking dish and line it with foil then lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.

Mix the brownie batter: In a bowl combine the brownie mix, ¼ cup of water, ½ cup of vegetable oil and 2 eggs. Stir everything together until blended. If desired you can also add in 2 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk and some chocolate chips.

Prepare the caramel layer: Take a microwave bowl. Mix together 11 ounces of caramel bits, with the remaining ½ cup of sweetened condensed milk. Microwave this mixture for a minute stir it well and then microwave it for 15 to 30 seconds until the caramel becomes smooth and fully melted.

Assemble the brownies: Pour half of the prepared brownie batter into the baking dish. Spread it evenly across the dish. Then. Drizzle the melted caramel over this layer. Finally top it off with the remaining brownie batter by spreading it out

Place your baking dish, in the oven. Bake for around 30 to 40 minutes. Check if they are done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean without any batter sticking to it then they are ready!

Allow your baked brownies to cool down completely in their baking dish before attempting to slice them. This will make cutting easier. Ensure that all layers have set properly.

Now you can enjoy these delicious Caramel Brownies!
