Caramel + Chocolate is pretty much heaven to me. Gimme a warm fudgy brownie, top it with vanilla ice cream, drizzle some hot caramel on top, and that’s one dreamy dessert. When I first created these Fudgy Caramel Brownies, I cooked up some caramel to swirl into the brownie… but caramel is heavy, and brownie batter is light… so the experimenting began. I actually baked up some of the batter for about 15 minutes before pouring the caramel on top, then scooped the rest of the batter into the pan and baked it up some more.
It all works out. For the most part, the caramel pretty much stays near the bottom of these Fudgy Caramel Brownies. I like to chill the baked product overnight before I attempt to get these out of the pan (I’d say that’s a must). With an oiled metal spatula, they are fairly easy to get out of the pan. The result is a very, very good ooey-gooey brownie- a good one for the caramel-obsessed.
If you love fudgy brownies, and if you’re an avid eater of caramel, you’ll enjoy these Fudgy Caramel Brownies. They’re not a pick-up-in-your-hand-and-eat-them-neatly kind of brownie, but they’re worth slapping on a cupcake paper and sticking a fork on top for easy eating.
If you’re looking for more desserts that celebrate caramel, you might also enjoy my Salted Caramel Brownies or this Frozen Caramel Toffee Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert. Salted Caramel Bars, Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Cinnamon Caramel Bread Pudding are also delicious caramel recipes!
