These Caramel Brownies are possibly my favorite brownie of all times! They have earned me lots of brownie points!!
I have been making these brownies for years. It is a favorite of the entire Wilkes family. And all of their friends, especially when my boys were teenagers. I know your friends and family are going to love them too!
And the best part is they are so easy to make. You use a cake mix and store bought caramels. The only hard part of the whole recipe is unwrapping all of the caramels. Or you can skip that step and use Kraft Caramel Bits. Now there is no excuse not to make them!
Ingredients Needed
- German Chocolate Cake Mix
- Caramels, about 50 wrapped pieces or 1 bag of Caramel Bits
- Evaporated Milk
- Butter
- Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
How to Make Caramel Brownies
- Melt Caramels and Evaporated Milk in a sauce pan over medium low heat.
- Combine cake mix, butter, and evaporated milk and mix.
- Press 1/2 of the batter into bottom of prepared 9×13 pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 6 minutes.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of partially baked brownie batter.
- Pour caramel over batter and chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle remaining dough on top (will not completely cover).
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes.
- Allow to cool before cutting.

I made these last night to go with a dinner I was delivering to a friend. I had one warm and gooey and it was so good. I mentioned to my husband that he should get them out of the house and take them to work. He took them all, but he said he was told to tell me that they were the best brownies they had ever had. A success.

This is perfect! I have a bag of these caramels I bought on clearance (I think at Walmart out here in Virginia) and I haven’t known what to do with them. Thanks.
