Easy Chocolate Caramel Brownies






Gooey Chocolate Brownies...Yum!  These babies are so easy to make and they pack up well so you can take them with you on a trip.  I used to make them and take them skiiing with us so the kids had a sweet treat with their lunches.  You can make them ahead and then just wrap the cooled brownies in  plastic wrap and stick in a ziplock baggy then put in your freezer.  Enjoy!


Easy Chocolate Caramel Brownies




                                 

Ingredients

  • 2  tablespoons  skim milk
  • 27  small soft caramel candies (about 8 ounces)
  • 1/2  cup  fat-free sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated skim milk)
  • 1  (18.25-ounce) package devil's food cake mix with pudding (such as Pillsbury)
  • 7  tablespoons  reduced-calorie stick margarine, melted
  • 1  large egg white, lightly beaten
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  teaspoon  all-purpose flour
  • 1/2  cup  reduced-fat chocolate baking chips

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.
Combine skim milk and candies in a bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until caramels melt and mixture is smooth, stirring with a whisk after every minute. Set aside.
Combine sweetened condensed milk, cake mix, margarine, and egg white in a bowl; stir well (batter will be very stiff). Coat bottom only of a 13 x 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray; dust lightly with flour. Press two-thirds of batter into prepared pan using floured hands; pat evenly (layer will be thin).
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle with chocolate chips. Drizzle caramel mixture over chips; carefully drop remaining batter by spoonfuls over caramel mixture. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until done. Let cool completely in pan on a wire rack.


Tips: Use a cake mix that contains pudding; the recipe won't work otherwise. Cut brownies after they've cooled. To make ahead, cool completely, wrap tightly in heavy-duty plastic wrap, and freeze.
Yield: 3 dozen (serving size: 1 brownie)

  1. This recipe is one of Brooke's favorite! I remember her making them when she was younger and unwrapping the caramel only to eat it before it went in the recipe!

  2. Shelly,
    Pillsbury makes the best mixes. I use theirs only for brownies! I have that easy brownie pan that cuts them into perfect squares while they bake, it works!... just leaks a little when adding batter. Keep up the good work, love this page and the clever name :)
