Best Caramel Brownies - Celebrating Sweets

Rich and fudgy brownies stuffed with a layer of caramel sauce and finished with a caramel drizzle. Layers of chocolate and caramel in every sweet and sticky bite!

Who is ready for gooey, fudgy, over-the-top CARAMEL BROWNIES?! These are coming just in time for Valentine’s Day, because I’m pretty sure that brownies stuffed with caramel are the way to everyone’s heart.

I rank brownies as one of my all-time favorite desserts. I love playing around with different flavor combinations like Cream Cheese Brownies, Peanut Butter Brownies, and Nutella Brownies And now we have Caramel Brownies in all their sweet and salty, ooey-gooey perfection.

Recipe tips

  • Line your pan with foil or parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Do not over bake. Brownies should be removed from the oven just shy of the very center being cooked through.
  • Cool to room temperature before cutting and serving. The brownies and caramel both need cooling time to firm up a bit.
  • Don’t skip the salt. I absolutely love the saltiness from a heavy sprinkling of finishing salt on top of these brownies. Maldon flaky sea salt is my favorite, but any finishing salt will work here.
