Caramel Brownies

Ingredients

10 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temp

1 1/4 cups sugar

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

10 oz caramels

1/2 cup evaporated milk

Method

In a small pan combine the caramels and evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat and stir until all caramels are melted. In a pan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt and mix for 2 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and eggs and combine; stir in the flour and set aside.

Pour half of the batter into a greased pan and bake for 10 minutes at 350F. Remove from oven, pour the caramel mixture over the brownies. Top the caramel mixture with the chocolate chips and spoon the remaining brownie batter over it all. Finish baking for about 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for about 90 minutes before slicing in (This is probably best but I deem it optional).
