Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 12 ounces chocolate chips

Caramel Layer

  • 11 ounces wrapped caramels
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350-degrees and grease a 9" x 13" baking dish.
  • Add the melted butter, brown and white sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs to a large bowl and mix well.
  • Next, sift the flour, unsweetened cocoa, and salt together.
  • Add the sifted ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
  • Pour 3/4 of the chocolate chips into the batter and mix.
  • Spread half of the brownie batter into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and set aside.
  • Unwrap all of the caramels, add them to a medium-sized microwave-safe dish, and pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top.
  • Microwave the caramel mixture in increments of 30-seconds, stirring in between until melted.
  • Pour the melted caramel mixture over the top of the brownie mixture and spread it to the edges.
  • Add the rest of the brownie mixture over the caramel layer and spread out (it's ok if the brownie mixture doesn't completely cover the caramel layer).
  • Sprinkle the remainder of the chocolate chips on top and bake for about 40 minutes.

Notes

If you'd like cake-like brownies then you can cook them a little longer than the 40 minutes, but if you'd like to have more fudgy brownies, the cake tester will come out with a little bit of batter still on it.
If you don't have caramels, you can use a jar of caramel sauce.
