CARAMEL BROWNIES FROM BROWNIE MIX RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, brownie mix, eggs, oil, water and mix until combined.
• Use a spatula to spread half of the batter in a rectangle pan (Dimensions: 9x13) that's been lined with aluminum foil and greased with oil. 
• Bake the layer for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees F until the top is firm and brownie is partially baked. 
• While that's baking, add caramels, condensed milk, butter in a mixing bowl and heat in microwave, mixing often, until mixture is smooth. It should be thick. You can also add a little sea salt to make salted caramel, if you like.
• Remove the partially baked brownie from the oven.
• Pour the caramel mixture over the brownie and spread it with a spatula. 
• Let it set for 5-10 minutes so that it becomes slightly firm. 
• Spread remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel layer, slowly and gently, being careful not to push it into the caramel layer. 
• Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. 
• Bake again at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick in the center comes out mostly clean with a few sticky crumbs. 
• Let it chill in the fridge for 1-2 hours so that it becomes firm, making it easy to cut perfect, even slices. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
• Grease then line a 23cm square traybake tin with baking parchment.
• Melt 200g unsalted butter in a medium pan, break in 100g chocolate (70% cocoa solids) and 100g chocolate (50% cocoa solids), then remove the pan from the heat and wait for the cubes to melt.
• In a small bowl, mix 175g Carnation caramel from a 397g can with 1 tsp sea salt – it will loosen up.
• Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with an electric hand mixer or balloon whisk until even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.
• In another bowl, combine 130g plain flour, 50g cocoa powder and a good pinch of table salt, then sift this on top of the chocolate mix. Beat briefly until smooth.
• Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with a spatula.
• Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
• Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag a skewer or tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
• Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
• Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.
