Dark Chocolate Caramel Brownies

Categories Dessert, Easy Recipes

These dark chocolate caramel brownies are so delicious! My family loves them. They are extra fudgy, full chocolate flavor with a slightly chewy and caramel that gets swirled into the brownies and really compliments the dark chocolate.

These never last long at my house that is for sure. They are also fairly easy to make. I use the microwave to melt the butter and chocolate mixture as well as to make the caramel mixture because it is super quick and easy that way. However, you can also use the stove top and a sauce pan to do that part of the recipe, instructions for that are below.

  6. Add flour and salt and stir well.
