Salted Caramel Brownie Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Place mini paper baking cup in each of 32 mini muffin cups.
• Make brownie batter as directed on box for cakelike brownies. Fill each muffin cup about three-fourths full.
• Bake 18 to 21 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of brownie bites comes out almost clean. Cool in pan 5 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and half-and-half uncovered on High 1 minute, stirring every 30 seconds, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. Let stand about 15 minutes or until no longer warm to touch.
• In another small bowl, beat softened butter with electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add melted caramel mixture; beat until well blended. On low speed, beat in 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar until smooth, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Add remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar; beat until smooth and frosting is fluffy. Beat in 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Pipe or spread frosting onto each brownie bite. Sprinkle with a small amount of coarse sea salt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 x 12 x 1 1/2-inch baking pan.
• Melt the butter, 8 ounces of the chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate together in a medium bowl set over simmering water. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature (see note below).
• In a medium bowl, sift together 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and salt and add to the chocolate mixture. Toss the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour in a medium bowl and add them to the chocolate mixture. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Don't overbake!
• As soon as the brownies are out of the oven, place the jar of caramel sauce without the lid in a microwave and heat just until it's pourable. Stir until smooth. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the hot brownies and sprinkle with the sea salt. Cool completely and cut into 12 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with a nonstick baking mat or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the brownie mix, baking powder, and flour. Add the vegetable oil and eggs and beat with an electric hand mixer until well combined.
• Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the dough and flatten into a disc. Add a caramel candy to the center and roll the dough around it to cover. Place on a prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and candies, spacing the cookies evenly.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, until crispy on the edges and crinkly on top. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaky sea salt while still hot. Let cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20-cm) baking pan and line with parchment paper.
• Make the brownies: in a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and fold to incorporate. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Pour half of the batter into the baking pan and spread to cover the bottom. Arrange the caramel candies in a single layer over the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the caramel candies and spread to cover.
• Bake for 35 minutes or until center is cooked through. Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool.
• Make the topping: combine the caramel candies and heavy cream in a medium heat-proof bowl. Microwave for 1 minute in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is thick and velvety.
• Pour the caramel topping over the brownies. Let set for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt.
• Slice and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper; grease paper.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and 3 tablespoons almondmilk. Microwave on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave 1 minute longer and stir until melted; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine melted vegan sticks, cake mix, flour and 1/4 cup almondmilk. Mix well. Spread half of mixture in bottom of pan. Bake 8 minutes.
• Sprinkle chocolate chips over partially baked bars. Drizzle with caramel; top with nuts. Drop small dollops of remaining dough over the caramel. Bake 17 to 20 minutes or until set. Sprinkle with sea salt. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F (175C) and spray a 24-count mini muffin tin with baking spray** Combine butter and chocolate chips in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, microwave for another 15 seconds and then stir well again. Repeat for 15 seconds until chocolate and butter are completely melted and well-combined. Stir in cocoa powder, instant coffee, and sugars, then add eggs, egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat well. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet and stir until well-combined. Drop batter by 1 1/2 Tablespoon into prepared mini muffin tin. Transfer to 350F (175C) oven and bake for 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few fudgy crumbs (not wet batter!). Immediately after baking take a rounded teaspoon or Tablespoon and press into each brownie bite to make a well (see photo in post for example). Allow brownie bites to cool while you prepare your caramel filling. Caramel Filling Prepare your caramel filling by combining caramels and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until caramel is completely melted and mixture is smooth, then remove from heat. Use a spoon to pour melted caramel into each brownie bite. Sprinkle with sea salt and allow to cool completely before serving. Recipe Notes **Baking spray is not the same as standard cooking spray. Baking spray should have flour listed in the ingredients, this will keep your brownies from sticking. I've found that if I use regular cooking spray I can't get my brownies out of the tin. If you don't have baking spray you can lightly grease and flour the sides and bottom of each mini muffin well (make sure to shake out excess flour).
