The Best Caramel Brownies

“Excellent brownies!My Mom has been making these for years… one thing that makes the whole process easier is using caramel sundae sauce instead of actual caramels.Makes delicious gooey brownies! :)”

“These are fantastic, extremely rich and gooey, easy and yummy. Everyone at our BBQ loved them.I made one small change. It seemed like the brownie was going to turn out rather thin, at least thinner than we like, so i used an 11 x 7 pan instead of a 13 x 9. To make the topping more smooth and even, I just pinched the dough into ping pong sized balls and flattened them out with my hands and then placed them so that they slightly overlapped each other. The brownies came out lovely and were gone in a flash.Using this size pan and cutting them into about 2 inch pieces yielded me 15 pieces.”

“i used a yellow cake mix instead of chocolate and it turned out great. I also drizzled white chocolate and used almonds in the mix so it was more like a caramel blondie than a brownie.this is so easy and you can do so many variations depending on cake mix flavor and add ons. this is a keeper!”

“My 96 year old aunt and I have been using a similar recipe for years.I use sheets of caramel (like those used for making caramel apples)….makes cleanup easier.”

“Delicious! I did cheat and use about 3/4 jar of caramel ice cream topping, but it turned out great! Thanks!”

“Delicious and very easy!”

“Easy and great tasting.”Someone” ate half a bag of caramels, so I had only half to work with but they still came out great.Took them to a party – lots of things on the dessert table – by the end of the evening there was not one of these left!”

“These are delicious.They taste like Rolos!”

“These are wonderful.”

“I used more than 1/2 c. nuts.More like 1 c. but other than that followed directions and they came out delicious!They were enjoyed by all!”

“These were right on the top of the list to try, so I decided to surprise my family and made them for Thanksgiving.We all agree they deserve 10*****, so now they go to my favorites to make again real soon!”

“This is the best brownie recipe.We have been using the same recipe since my aunt introduced it to us many years ago.Many people ask for this recipe after they try it.YUM!!!A must try!!”

“Excellent.I was short a cake pan, so I used greased muffin tins (heavily greased).It created a little more labor, but I liked all of the chewy, caramel edges!My prep was more like 40 minutes because the caramels took a WHILE to melt on low-medium heat.I might use less chocolate chips in future recipes, just to cut the richness a bit.Thanks!”

“YES!!!! These are the best caramel brownies!”

“These are so darn good they will have you off your diet in an instant!Everyone at the cook-out couldn’t stop talking about them and the kids ate them until they were gone!I loaded them with pecans and macadamia nuts, and they were chocolately and moist and really left us with the feeling we had our chocolate fix for the day.MMmmmmmmMMmmmmm yummy from your mouth to your tummy!”

“My family has been making these for years! We call them Turtle Cakes. Can’t have Christmas without them! I agree it seems tedious to unwrap the caramels, but the child or husband who does it for me gets to eat one or two of the caramels for thanks :)Definitely a 5 star recipe!”

“I thought it was a bit tedious, not difficult, to make with the rolling, the melting and so on but I was glad I did when they were done. They were even better the next day. I cut them into bite size pieces as part of a brownie assortment platter. I didn’t make them with nuts as many of my family are not fond of them. Thank you for a very rich, moist brownie.”

“UGH!!!This is NOT my day!!!As I was making these, I thought of the stupid idea to put them in an 8×8 baking dish.So, I did, not a good idea!They are thick but I didn’t know how long to bake them, so I ended up baking them like almost 20 minutes longer, and now I think they are burnt. MAN!!They were so wiggly that I didn’t think they were done.I was making these as a gift for someone.I’m stupid.Don’t do what I did.I don’t have any idea how they taste yet because they are way too hot still, but I can smell burntness. ;(“

“I made these for two of my friends and they LOVED them. It is a bit more time-consuming than you’d expect from a recipe that includes cake mix, because it takes a while to unwrap all those caramels and try to evenly spread the mix, but judging from the comments of my friends, it’s well worth it. I used milk chocolate chips, and followed the recipe to a T. Thank you!”
