Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 box german chocolate cake mix
1 package Kraft caramels (about 45, 14 oz. )
1 can evaporated milk (10 oz., divided)
3/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons flour
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips (I use jumbo)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.
  • Melt the caramel and 1/3 cup evaporated milk and stir in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and incorporated.
  • In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, 1/3 cup evaporated milk, melted butter and flour. Press half of the mix into the 9x13 inch dish and bake for 6 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips.
  • Pour the caramel on top of the chocolate chips.
  • Top with the remaining brownie batter on the top of the caramel and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely so that the caramel can set. I also find that if you let it cool and place in the fridge it helps to set up right before cutting.

Time 50m

Yield Makes 16 larger or 32 bite-sized brownies

Number Of Ingredients 9

200g unsalted butter, plus a little extra for greasing
100g chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
100g chocolate, 50% cocoa solids
397g can Carnation caramel
1 tsp flaky sea salt, plus a little extra for the top
200g golden caster sugar
4 medium eggs, at room temperature
130g plain flour
50g cocoa powder

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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the brownies are evenly cooked.
  • Don't overbake the brownies. Overbaking will make the brownies dry and crumbly. Bake the brownies for the amount of time specified in the recipe.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature. The brownies will keep for up to 3 days.
