Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder spooned and leveled
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 cup all purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 11 oz soft caramel candies unwrapped
  • ⅓ cup evaporated milk

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Prep. Preheat to 350 degrees F and line a 9 by 13 inch pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  • Caramel. Melt the caramel candies with the evaporated milk over medium heat, stirring until smooth.
  • Batter. Whisk the melted butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and eggs until glossy. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt, then fold in the chips.
  • Layer. Spread half the batter in the pan, drizzle on the caramel, then top with the remaining batter.
  • Bake. Bake for 25 minutes until a toothpick shows a few moist crumbs, then cool completely before cutting.

Notes

Substitutions: Use semi sweet chocolate chips for a darker brownie.
Tips: Cool the pan completely before slicing and wipe the knife between cuts.
Storage: Keep at room temperature for 3 to 4 days, refrigerate for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
