Irresistibly decadent, these caramel brownies are an easy throw-together dessert you can make any day of the week. Using a box of Betty Crocker™ Supreme Original Brownie Mix, chopped nuts and semisweet chocolate chips, these cake-like brownies are baked in the oven until at the last minute they’re topped with even more nuts, more chocolate chips and a rich, creamy caramel sauce. So simple and easy; the only hard part is waiting for these incredible brownies to cool down before digging in and devouring.

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom of 8-inch square pan with shortening or cooking spray. Make brownie batter as directed on box for cakelike brownies. Spread in pan. In small bowl, combine nuts and chocolate chips; sprinkle half of mixture over batter in pan. Set remaining nut mixture aside.
  • 2
    Bake 35 to 38 minutes or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Meanwhile, place caramels and milk in small microwavable bowl, microwave uncovered on High 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds until caramels are melted.
  • 3
    After removing pan from oven, immediately spoon caramel mixture over brownie; sprinkle with remaining nut mixture. Return to oven and bake an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until caramel is bubbly around edge of brownie. Cool completely on cooling rack, about 2 hours. Before cutting, run knife around edge of pan to loosen. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. Store covered at room temperature.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use your favorite nut for these decadent brownies. For a tropical twist, try macadamia nuts or a cashew-macadamia mix.
  • tip 2
    Be sure to taste-test nuts before you use them. Nuts can become rancid quickly, so it's best to store them in an airtight container in the freezer where they will keep longer.
  • tip 3
    For a truly decadent dessert, serve slices of this rich cake with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • tip 4
    For super-easy cleanup, line your baking pan with foil that is longer than the pan; spray the bottom and sides of the foil. When brownies are cool, lift them out of the pan by the foil "handles," peel back foil and cut brownies.
