Caramel Pretzel Brownies
Description
Caramel pretzel brownies are a breeze when made with brownie mix, caramels, chopped pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits.
Ingredients
•
1 (14 ounce) bag individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, divided
•
1 (18 3/10 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
•
1/2 cup vegetable oil
•
1/4 cup water
•
2 large eggs
•
1/4 cup unsalted butter
•
1 tablespoon milk
•
1 cup chopped pretzels
•
3/4 cup chocolate chips
•
1/3 cup chocolate-covered toffee bits
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.
2
Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a bowl until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Press three rows of 6 caramel halves into the brownie batter so there will be one in the center of each brownie.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.
4
Combine remaining caramels, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe, glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).
5
Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies. Scatter pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits over top. Cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 18 squares.
