THE BEST CARAMEL BROWNIES

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.

CARAMEL BROWNIES

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving a bit of overhang on the edges.
• In a heavy saucepan over low heat, add the caramels and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk. Stir it constantly until caramels have melted and are well combined with the milk.
• In a large bowl, beat together the cake mix, melted butter, and 1/3 cup of evaporated milk until well-combined.
• Split the dough in half. Press half of it into the lined pan.
• Bake the dough for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and top with the chocolate chips. Pour the caramel evenly over the chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool the brownies in the fridge for 2 hours to set the caramel.
• Slice them into small bars. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• For the caramel sauce, melt butter with milk over low heat and add Caramel Creams®. Stir constantly. Remove from heat when the sauce is smooth.

Add sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat on high for 5 minutes, until smooth. Stir in chocolate mixture, add flour and mix until blended.
• Pour half of the brownie mixture in the pan and bake for 10 minutes, then remove brownies from oven. Spread the caramel sauce over the cooked brownies. Cover the caramel with the remaining brownie mix. Bake an additional 25-30 minutes at 350°. Cool for 2+ hours, in pan, at room temperature.

SALTED CARAMEL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
• Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
• In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt - it will loosen up.
• Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
• In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
• Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
• Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
• Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
• Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
• Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.
