Caramel Brownies

These are a great dessert brownie, or actually just anytime brownie. There's many ways of making homemade caramel or dulce de leche but I find the oven the easiest, safest and it's fairly quick too. The marble effect of these brownies makes them beautiful to look at, which is never a bad thing.

Makes up to 16 good size brownies, depending on the cut.

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C and line a 20 cm (8inch) by 20cm(which is at least 5cm deep) pan with greaseproof paper.
  2. In a medium pan melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a low heat.
  3. Keeping an eye on the chocolate and butter, whisk together the eggs, caster sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Once the chocolate mixture has melted let cool for a couple of minutes before adding the sugary egg mixture to the pan.
  5. Fold in flour and salt.
  6. Pour half of the brownie mix into the pan. Then, using about half of your caramel, dollop spoonfuls of the caramel across the top of the brownie mix.
  7. Use a knife or a skewer to drag the caramel through the chocolate batter, to create a marble effect.
  8. Pour the rest of the brownie mix on top of this layer.
  9. Use the rest of the caramel to decorate the top of your mixture. Using the same technique as before to create a marble effect.
  10. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. These brownies are meant to be gooey so don’t be tempted to over cook them.

  1. Heat oven to 220c.
  2. Pour a tin of condensed milk into a medium baking dish (i use a glass pie dish), cover dish with tin foil.
  3. Place dish inside an oven tray and fill with warm water until the water is about half way up the sides of the dish with the condensed milk in.
  4. Cook in the oven for about an hour n half, until golden brown.
  5. Check every 30 mins, and refill water when needed. When the caramel has turned a golden brown colour, remove from the oven.
  6. When you take out the oven, uncover the caramel and let cool before stirring it.
  7. To warm up to spreading temperature either a few quick short blasts in the microwave or more safer place the dish back in a bigger dish filled with hot water for 5-10minutes.
