Double Chocolate Brownies with Salted Caramel Frosting

Chocolate and Caramel – does it get any better than that?! These double chocolate brownies with salted caramel frosting are pure heaven.

Double Chocolate Brownies with Salted Caramel Frosting

Sometimes a girl just needs some chocolate.  It was one of those weeks for me.  I typically will pick anything citrus over chocolate but once and a while, you just need some chocolate.

 Sliced Double Chocolate Brownies Salted Caramel Frosting

To make these brownies I took two of my favorite recipes.  I used my mom’s go to, been making for years chocolate syrup brownie recipe.  To give it even more chocolate goodness, I added in chocolate chips before baking too, thus making it double chocolate.  Chocolate syrup and chocolate chips!!  It is a nice gooey, chewy type of brownie which is exactly how I prefer my brownies.

The caramel frosting recipe is from my favorite caramel cake.  If you have never made a caramel cake, you need to make this cake!!  The cake is really really good but the frosting is AMAZING!  I just knew that the double chocolate brownies and caramel frosting would be a perfect combination.

Salted Caramel Double Chocolate Brownies

The only thing that would make it better is by making it a salted caramel frosting!  I added a bit of my favorite French salt to the frosting and sprinkled some on top too.   If you aren’t a salted caramel fan, just leave the salt out! The frosting is easy to make right on the stove top and there is no thermometer needed.

    Looks sinful. Can’t wait to try them. Quick technical question-what’s the best way to print out the recipe? Is there a printer friendly version?
