Caramel Brownies

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 50 min. YIELD: 2 dozen.
I love to cook. My family can't possibly eat all the sweets I whip up, so my co-workers are more than happy to sample them—particularly these rich, chewy caramel brownies that are full of gooey caramel, chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts. —Clara Bakke, Coon Rapids, Minnesota

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, divided
  • 1 package (11 ounces) caramels
  • 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Directions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat sugar, oil, cocoa, eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder; gradually add to egg mixture until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup walnuts.
  • 2. Spoon two-thirds of the batter into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat caramels and condensed milk over low heat until caramels are melted, stirring frequently. Pour over baked brownie layer. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
  • 4. Drop remaining batter by teaspoonfuls over caramel layer. Carefully swirl brownie batter with a knife.
  • 5. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake), 35-40 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
