Easy Caramel Brownies

Caramel Brownies are the perfect way to satisfy your sweet cravings. Rich chocolate, sandwiches ooey gooey sweet caramel for the best brownies EVER!

Brownies are hands down one of the best treats, they are rich, luscious and perfectly proportioned. You have to try these other tried and true favorites like this Red Velvet, Oreo or Cream Cheese Brownies!

Caramel Brownie Recipe

The first time I made these caramel brownies they were gone in 2 minutes flat! It might have helped that I was feeding a bunch of boys, but still! These are just so good! When baking with caramel the hardest part is letting it completely cool. It usually takes a few hours, and even helps putting them in the fridge right before cutting. So I had my little five year old following me around all day asking me every 5 minutes if they were ready. I guess I don’t blame him. The smell of fresh baked brownies filled the house and the caramel looked so amazing just oozing on top. I think I secretly heard them whispering, eat me!

These caramel brownies are to die for. They are the best brownies I think that I have ever had. They are rich, chewy, and the caramel and chocolate chips inside make them absolutely perfect. I have made these so much I have the recipe memorized and I can’t believe that I haven’t made them for my blog until now. I usually mix some pecans in the brownie batter, but I know my kids prefer them without. Either way, you will not be disappointed by making these.

What You Will Need For Chocolate Caramel Brownies

Rich and decadent, I’ve made this simple by using a cake mix to speed it up, and make it taste amazing!

• German Chocolate Cake Mix: Any boxed german chocolate mix will do.
• Kraft Caramels: You will need one package, about 14 oz worth or 45 caramels.
• Evaporated Milk: This will help the caramels melt into a silky smooth layer.
• Butter: Because everything is better with butter, and you will need to melt it.
• Flour: This will act as a thickener.
• Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips: I used jumbo chips but regular are fine.
• Pecans: Finely chopped. These are optional, but I love the crunchy texture they give.

How to Make Caramel Brownies from Scratch

The hardest part of making these exquisite brownies is unwrapping the caramels and not eating them all.

1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan and set aside.
2. Caramel: Melt the caramel and ⅓ cup evaporated milk and stir in a small saucepan over low heat until melted and fully incorporated.
3. Cake: In a mixing bowl combine cake mix ⅓ cup evaporated milk, melted butter and flour. Press half of the mix into the 9×13 inch dish and bake for 6 minutes.
4. Chocolate Chips: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips
5. Layer: Pour the caramel on top of the chocolate chips.
6. Top it: Top with the remaining brownie batter on the top of the caramel and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes.
7. Cool: Remove from oven and let cool completely so that the caramel can set. I also find that if you let it cool and place in the fridge it helps to set up right before cutting.

Tips For The Best Caramel Brownies

With gooey caramel and decadent chocolate, you cannot go wrong. These are simply the best, super easy and super delicious.

• Cake Mix: Everyone has their favorite cake mix brand, so use what you love. But if you have no idea, Betty Crocker is the way to go.
• Can I use a different Chocolate Cake Mix? Yes, you can. German chocolate is mild flavored chocolate. If you want a darker richer chocolate flavor opt for a devil foods or dark chocolate cake mix.
• Chocolate Chips:  You can also use dark chocolate chips instead of semi sweet for a deeper flavor. I do not however recommend milk chocolate. I feel it makes the brownies too sweet with the caramel.
• Caramel: You may be groaning at the fact that you need to make your own caramel sauce, but truly it is the only way to go. Using a jarred caramel sauce will not set up as well and can make the brownies not just ooey and gooey, but down right drippy.
• Line Your Pan: To make it super easy to remove the brownies from the pan I highly recommend lining it with foil. An extra step that will save you a lot time and heartache in the end.
• Topping the Brownies: When you put the rest of the brownie batter on top, you will not be able to smooth it out over the caramel. I will sometimes just plop it on, other times I take blobs and flatten them a bit with my hand. I then create a puzzle like pattern on top like below. If you really want to cover it, place the brownie mixture between two pieces of plastic wrap and roll it out with a rolling pin.

Storing Homemade Caramel Brownies

Leftovers will not last long, I promise!

• Storing Leftover Brownies: These will keep on the counter in cool place, tightly wrapped. If your home is a bit warmer or you just like them a bit firmer you can keep these tightly covered in the fridge. They will keep for up to a week.
• Freeze: Wrap tightly with foil and then place in a freezer safe bag for up to 4 months!

More Bar Desserts To Try!

Making treats in a 9×13 pan are referred to often as bar desserts, or bar cookies. They are one of the easiest ways to cook amazing desserts, quickly and get a lot of them too. When I’m short on time, but need a good dessert I often reach for one of these perfected bar desserts. They are also easy to cut and serve.

Buffalo Sauce Recipe

Homemade buffalo sauce is simple to make and great for many recipes to come! Buffalo sauce is combination of bottled hot sauce and a fat, and in this case butter, to create a delicious creamy sauce you are going to love. The butter will balance out the spice, and along with the vinegar and worcestershire sauce it creates a unique taste different from just hot sauce. It is creamy and delicious.

Making homemade buffalo sauce at home means you can make it fresh and adjust the heat to your liking. It is much easier than you think. There are so many ways to serve this sauce, I’ll give you all the good ideas below. But whether you are a ranch dressing fan or a Blue Cheese fan, I have that recipe for you too! So turn your grill on and get the wings cooking and let’s make some sauce!

Ingredients for Buffalo Sauce Recipe

Just a few ingredients make up this incredible homemade buffalo sauce. Do not skimp on the butter, it is meant to be in there.

• Frank’s Hot Sauce: Every good buffalo sauce starts with a good hot sauce, use your favorite.
• Butter: Adds the richness and depth you want in a buffalo sauce.
• White Vinegar: Adds a bit of acidity for impeccable flavor.
• Worcestershire Sauce: You want to use this for a perfect umami flavor.
• Cayenne: More heat.
• Garlic: Adds flavor besides heat.

How To Make Buffalo Sauce from Scratch

Buffalo sauce made from scratch is so easy you will wonder what took you so long to try it. You are going to love this!

1. Combine: In a medium saucepan add the hot sauce, butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and garlic.
2. Heat: Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and whisk for 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips For The Best Buffalo Sauce

There are several variations of buffalo sauce out there. Some only use the hot sauce and butter. I prefer this homemade recipe that rounds out the flavors better and creates a beautiful rich deep sauce.

• Frank’s Hot Sauce: It is highly touted everywhere that this is the only hot sauce you should use to make Buffalo sauce. It is even said that the original buffalo sauce that originated in Buffalo NY, was made with Frank’s. Whether that is true or not, you cannot go wrong with Frank’s. It is the perfect hot sauce to create this buffalo sauce with. If you have a different hot sauce that you love, by all means use it. If you are not sure what to use, go with Frank’s.
• Control The Heat: Everyone has their different tolerance for heat. If you want it spicer double or even triple the cayenne pepper. If you want it more mild, reduce or eliminate the cayenne all together. Adjusting the cayenne is how you will control the heat.
• Add Sweet Heat: If you want more of a sweet buffalo sauce, try adding honey to the recipe. It adds flavor and a touch of sweet. Start with a teaspoon or two and add more to taste.

What to Serve Your Homemade Sauce With

Homemade buffalo sauce may have started out as a wing sauce, but it is for so much more than that. Try it with any recipe that calls for buffalo sauce, like Buffalo Cauliflower or Grilled Honey Buffalo Wings. This rich creamy sauce can go with so many things, these are just a few to get your creative juices flowing. There are so many ways you can use this divine buffalo sauce.

• Breakfast: Yup, we can start the morning with this buffalo sauce. Use it to top Eggs, Breakfast Burritos, Breakfast Casseroles and Hashbrowns.
• Lunch: Buffalo sauce is so good on sandwiches. Try it on Chicken, Egg Salad, and even Grilled Cheese. Use it to make Chicken Quesadillas, tacos or a Buffalo Buddha bowl.
• Dinner: The possibilities here are endless. Add it to this Wedge Salad with the blue cheese and bacon, it’s amazing. Drizzle it on any other salad for a nice kick. Drizzle the sauce over air fryer chicken and Fried Chicken. Make Buffalo Chicken pizzas, or drizzle it over vegetables and baked potatoes.

Storing Buffalo Sauce

This sauce only gets better with time. I like making it in small batches but making a large batch is just as good. It will keep. Keep in a tightly sealed container, I like to use a jar with a screw top lid. Keep in the fridge for up to a month. Shake well before each use. If you want to warm it up, only take out what you will need and warm up in the microwave.

More Homemade Sauces and Spreads

There really is nothing better than making your own sauces, dressings and spreads. You know exactly what goes in them. You can customize them to your liking. Homemade is always better than store bought. It only takes a few minutes to create your favorites and you won’t regret it. Making homemade anything always is cheaper than buying as well. So in a nutshell it’s healthier, cheaper, and tastier. I think it’s time to give them a try. Start with these tried and true favorites.

Baked Honey Sesame Chicken

Honey Sesame Chicken is sweet, savory, and perfect for any night of the week. This is so good, it is even better than take out!

Serve this restaurant worthy meal on a bed of rice and with sides such as Wontons, Egg Rolls or Fried Rice for the complete take out from home.

Homemade Honey Sesame Chicken

There are recipes that I make that I hope that everyone tries. This is one of those recipes. It all began with my sweet and sour chicken that changed my life. It is actually possible to make the same quality Chinese food as P.F. Chang’s at home. Then came a spicy version of this delicious chicken, my firecracker chicken. I had died and gone to Chinese food heaven with these recipes. I didn’t think that it could get any better than this. Since I love Chinese food so much my life was complete. But then I created honey sesame chicken. Let me tell you this. This is the best of them all!

It first starts with the breading. The cornstarch and egg combo makes it taste straight from a restaurant. Then there is something about baking this chicken that makes the sauce thicken, the chicken brown and absolutely blow your mind. Seriously I could hardly believe how amazing this was while I was eating it. The sauce has a sweet honey flavor to it and is absolute honey sesame perfection. If you love Chinese and make one thing from my blog, make this!

Sesame Chicken Ingredients

These simple ingredients are probably sitting in your pantry right now. I love that this comes together so easily. You are going to love the luscious sauce.

• Chicken Breasts: About 4 chicken breasts
• Cornstarch: Needed for the breading
• Eggs: The binder
• Salt and Pepper: To taste
• Canola: Just enough to fry in

Honey Sesame Sauce

• Honey: The queen of the sauce
• Soy Sauce: Adds a bit of salty and flavor to the sweet
• Ketchup: Adds a good balance to the sweet
• Brown Sugar: Helps bring out the sweetness of the honey
• Rice Wine Vinegar: The zing to the sweet, you’ll want the tang to balance it
• Sesame Oil: Adds perfect sesame flavor
• Garlic: A necessity in asian food
• Cornstarch: This is the thickener for the sauce

How to Make Easy Honey Sesame Chicken

This could not be any easier. Remember you are just flash frying the chicken, it will finish cooking in the oven.

1. Cut: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces and season with salt and pepper
2. Bowls: In one bowl place the cornstarch. In the other bowl place the eggs and beat them slightly. Dip the chicken into the cornstarch first, then into the egg mixture.
3. Flash Fry: In a skillet heat the oil over medium high heat. Cook the chicken till just golden brown on all sides. Place in a greased 9×13 pan.
4. Mix: In a medium bowl mix all of the sauce ingredients till thoroughly combined. Pour over the chicken.
5. Bake: Bake the chicken for 45 min stirring every 15 min to evenly coat the chicken.

Trust Me on these Pro Tips!

This is the same method as my Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken so it shares my same tips.

1. Method to the Madness: Make sure you first coat your chicken in the cornstarch and then the egg. This method makes the perfect breading for the chicken. You can also use a large gallon ziplock bag to coat the chicken in the cornstarch.
2. Fast: Do not cook the chicken all the way through before baking.  You just want to get the chicken lightly brown on the outside, and then it bakes to perfection.
3. Low and Slow: Baking the chicken at a low temperature will not over cook the chicken. This helps to cook the chicken all the way through and thicken up the sauce.

Tips for the Best Honey Sesame Chicken

Besides taking time to cook in the oven this baked honey chicken comes together really quickly. Cut your chicken when it is still partially frozen to make it easier to cut. But wait to bread and cook them till thawed.

• Chicken: You can use chicken thighs if you like. Just make sure your pieces of chicken are cut evenly so they cook at the same rate.
• Vinegar: If you don’t have rice wine vinegar you can easily substitute apple cider vinegar without ruining the taste.
• Vegetables: You can add in broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, zucchini or other vegetables to round out the meal a bit more.
• Serve: This is definitely delicious on its own but we love to serve it over rice. You can also try quinoa, brown rice or ramen noodles.
• Side Dishes: Serve this luscious dish alongside Air Fryer Egg Rolls, Grilled Pineapple, and Vegetable Stir Fry.
• Sauce: If you want more sauce, make a double batch of the sauce. Pour half over the chicken to bake and heat the other half in a small saucepan over medium heat till thickened. Pour the extra sauce over the chicken once done, or over individual portions. This will help it not get soggy while it cooks, but gives you extra sauce.

Storing Leftovers

Leftovers are some of the best. The sauce really melds into the chicken. The breaded chicken will lose a bit of its crispy tender outside, but the taste is still amazing.

• Fridge: Place leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• Freezer: This can be frozen too. Just place in a freezer safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Sweet and Sour Chicken is best reheated on the stove. Reheating it in the microwave can make the chicken rubbery and overcooked. Place leftovers in pan on the stove top and heat on medium heat, stirring often, till heated through.

More Asian Inspiration for Dinner

Asian food is a staple around here at our house. We love to make our favorites at home, instead of getting take out. It always tastes ten times better and when making it at home you can customize it to your tastes. Cooking these take out favorites is actually easier than you think too. I have plenty of tried and true favorites here on the blog, but these favorites are a good place to start.
