If you are in mood for rich, decadent, irresistible brownies look no further. These are my favorite brownies if I am going all out :) Matt requested them for his birthday this year and I was thrilled for an excuse to make them! The entire brownie is rich, rich, rich (which I love, love, love). Brownie base, topped with chocolate chips, covered with caramel and either walnuts or pecans! Trust me, if you like brownies or caramel these are for you! I used to not like nuts but always liked them in this. If you are unsure do half with nuts and half without, you may be surprised to find you like them best with the nuts too!
Don't forget Mother's Day is this Sunday! If you are looking for a recipe mom will love this is your one!
Brownies Supreme (German Chocolate Brownies) Source: My sister Gabby
Ingredients:
1 box German Chocolate cake mix
3/4 C margarine
1/2 C + 1-2 tbsp Evaporated Milk, divided
50-75 caramels (I usually go on the higher end :)
1 lb chopped walnuts or pecans (I don't always use this much)
16 oz. milk chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl combine the cake mix, margarine and 1/2 C evaporated milk.
3. Put half of the cake mixture into the 9 x 13 pan and smooth around until it covers the pan. The mixture will be very thick, similar to cookie dough.
4. Bake the thin layer for 5-8 minutes.
5. While the base is cooking, unwrap your caramels. Place in a microwave safe bowl and combine with 1-2 tbsp of evaporated milk. Melt in the microwave, stirring occasionally.

6. Remove the base layer from the oven and add the chocolate chips, nuts and finally the melted caramel. Do your best to spread around the caramel.
7. Add the remaining half of the cake mixture in blobs to the top of the caramel layer. You won't need to spread it around, return to oven for 5 minutes.
8. After 5 minutes spread the slightly baked cake mixture around so that it covers the whole pan.
9. Return to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes.

These look delicious! I wish I could have one right now.
ReplyDeleteThese are so up my alley! Can't wait to try them!
ReplyDeleteoh these sound sinful! I can almost taste them! Do you think instead of unwrapping that many caramels, you could just use the caramel ice cream syrup? That's a lot of unwrapping! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTammy, it IS a lot of unwrapping! The caramel ice cream topping may be too thin for the brownies and not ever set up when the brownies cool. You could try it. I definitely wouldn't add the 1-2 tbsp of evaporated milk to the ice cream topping. If you do use it can you let me know how it works?
ReplyDeleteTammy, I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but I have seen bags of unwrapped caramel bits in the baking aisle! Those would be perfect! You would have to compare the weight of the wrapped bag of caramel to the unwrapped bits to know how much to use. I think I usually use a full bag plus about 15 addditional caramels.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe is dangerously delicious! Love the caramel, love the nuts, love everything about it!

Oh my goodness, these look amazing! The unwrapped caramel bits were a huge time saver when I made my caramel oat bars last week.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted this! I want these for my b-day too! There is definitely lots of love going on in your new kitchen!
ReplyDeleteMy family makes a version of this in a cake form - you just make the German chocolate cake as directed on the box, pour half of it in a 13 x 9" pan and bake for 15 minutes, then pour the melted caramels on top, sprinkle with choc. chips and nuts, and top with remaining cake batter and bake for another 20 minutes or so. We call it Turtle Cake - it was the most requested birthday cake in my family growing up! The brownie version sounds equally, if not more, delicious. I'll have to try it!
ReplyDeleteRebekah, the cake sounds really good too! Definitely a hit anytime of the year, especially birthdays! Do you eat the cake warm? These brownies are super gooey if you try to eat them warm. Not pretty for a picture but I always get at least one warm :)
ReplyDeleteWe usually eat it at room temperature, with homemade vanilla ice cream (if we can). It is SO rich! I forgot to add, our recipe called for adding some butter and evaporated milk with the caramels as they melt, so it's not as thick as yours. Letting it set up a little is a good thing. I haven't had it in a couple of years...but now I want your version!
