Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Salted Caramel Chocolate Brownies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 13x9-inch baking pan and give it a good greasing.

3. Step 3

   For an extra layer of protection, line the bottom with parchment paper and don’t forget to grease the parchment too—this will help your brownies come out perfectly.

4. Step 4

   In a medium microwave-safe bowl, toss in the unwrapped caramels along with 3 tablespoons of almond milk.

5. Step 5

   Pop it in the microwave on high for about a minute, then give it a stir.

6. Step 6

   If it’s not melted yet, microwave it for another minute, stirring until it’s smooth and creamy.

7. Step 7

   Set this delicious caramel concoction aside for now.

8. Step 8

   In a large mixing bowl, combine your melted vegan buttery sticks with the German chocolate cake mix, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1/4 cup of almond milk.

9. Step 9

   Mix everything together until it’s well blended and you have a rich brownie batter.

10. Step 10

    Now, take half of this brownie mixture and spread it evenly across the bottom of your prepared baking pan.

11. Step 11

    Bake it in the oven for 8 minutes—just enough time to get it started.

12. Step 12

    Once it’s out, sprinkle miniature semisweet chocolate chips over the top of the partially baked brownies.

13. Step 13

    Drizzle that luscious melted caramel over the chocolate chips, and then sprinkle chopped walnuts on top for a delightful crunch.

14. Step 14

    Finally, drop small dollops of the remaining brownie mixture over the caramel and nuts, creating a beautiful patchwork.

15. Step 15

    Return the pan to the oven and let it bake for another 17 to 20 minutes, or until the brownies are set and a toothpick comes out clean.

16. Step 16

    When they’re done, take them out and sprinkle a touch of coarse sea salt on top for that perfect sweet-salty balance.

17. Step 17

    Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan for about 2 hours—this is the hardest part, but trust me, it’s worth the wait! Once they’re cool, cut them into squares and get ready to enjoy a slice of heaven.
