Caramel Swirl Chocolate Chip Brownies


Call me crazy but I've never been big on Brownies.

My mom never made brownies for us growing up.
I honestly have no memories of 1 brownie.

I mostly remember cookies, pies and cake, from a box ;)

Anywho, so I wanted to make a brownie that I could really enjoy!

1st of all, has to be Homemade!
Brownies made from a mix is pretty boring to me.

2nd, Caramel sounded like a pretty good idea!

3rd, I like texture in my brownies 
so Chocolate chips was a must!

AND... this recipe is definitely a Winner!
It has everything I could love in a brownie!

It's more of a Fudgy brownie rather than a Cakey brownie...which I prefer!

Hope you Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
1/2 bag of milk chocolate chips

1/2 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 ounce bag caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup heavy cream

1 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips, to sprinkle on top


Instructions:
  1. Melt 1 c butter, 1/2 bag milk chocolate chips and 1/2 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips in a microwave (mine took 1 min 45 sec, stirring inbetween).
  2. Add 1 1/2 c sugar, 4 eggs and 2 tsp vanilla to chocolate mixture.
  3. Fold in 1 1/4 c flour and 1/2 tsp salt.
  4. Pour 1/2 of batter in 9" x 13" baking pan lined with nonstick foil.
  5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Before brownies are done baking, Melt caramels and 1/3 c heavy cream in the microwave in 30 sec intervals.
  7. When brownies are finished baking, pour melted caramel sauce onto brownies.
  8. Pour remaining brownie batter on top. (brownie batter will be a little thick, but just carefully swirl into the warm caramel sauce which will help it spread easier.)
  9. Sprinkle on top with 1 c of chocolate chips.
  10. Bake in 350 degree oven for additional 20 minutes.
  11. After cooled, refrigerate for easy/clean cutting.
