Gooey Caramel Brownies
I’m baaaaack. My sincerest apologies for the long lapse in writing and recipes. I was preoccupied with birthdays, the holidays, a honeymoon, and running off to get hitched.

More on the Best Day Ever to Come to the Blog
Needless to say, I’ve been a little busy. Now I’m back in the Midwest making a giant mess of my kitchen and saving the occasional life. My first day back to baking called for something equal parts easy and yummy… gooey caramel brownies.
The Supplies

- 4 tbsp of butter
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil
- ¾ cup of cocoa powder
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¼ cup of flour
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- 1 tsp of salt
- 11oz bag of caramels
- 2 tbsp of milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting
The Procedure

- Melt butter with oil in a small saucepan. Once melted, stir in cocoa and remove from heat.
- Pour mixture into a large bowl and add sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients
- Line 9×13 pan with parchment paper and pour in half of the brownie batter. Bake at 350º for 10 minutes.
- While bottom layer is baking, combine caramels and milk in saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until caramels are melted.
- Pour caramel over brownies and top with the remaining brownie batter. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool completely. For added aesthetics and calories, dust with powdered sugar.
Thanks for letting me be a tart of your world.

Recently I decided to embrace my lack of decorating skills. I made some spoooooooooooky cupcakes. These little guys are kind of like Burger after his latest trip to the groomer… so ugly they’re cute.

Sugardoodles
We all know I love a good mashup, whether it is Burger the bernedoodle or a pumpkin apple pie. The sugardoodle is my latest love. I have always been a chocolate chip cookie kind of girl, or a monster cookie kind of girl, or even a white chocolate macadamia cookie kind of girl… but I […]
French Toast
Easter is Sunday. Yes it’s, the resurrection of our Lord and savior, but also… it’s arguably one of the biggest brunch days of the year. If you’re a brunch overachiever like me, you need this recipe. It’s a classic, and fairly basic, recipe. That being said, it tastes pretty fancy and your guests will be […]

I feel like I should be embarrassed that I have to sing Gwen everytime I spell banana. I ain’t no hollaback girl, so it is what it is. On Friday I babysat my niece. After talking her way into a new baker Barbie (I couldn’t be prouder), she wanted to bake for real. The ingredient […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
It’s been mentioned on here before that I am a crazy Christmas lady. My tree is up and our stockings have been hung by the chimney with care. The neighbors don’t know I’m a stone cold weirdo, so I’m waiting to decorate the outside until it’s a little more “acceptable.” Since the holiday season has […]
Cherry Apple Pie
Sure, this cherry apple pie is delicious. Let’s be real though, the thing that makes it one of my favorites is the fact that there is no blind baking required! Praise be. You can use any cherries and apples that tickle your fall fancy, but I recommend using sweet cherries and tart apples or tart […]

Another day, another excuse to use the kitchen torch. I know I will one day go down in a blaze of glory. What can I say? These gooey, toasty, chocolate campfire brownies are just worth the risk. This the second chocolatey post of the day, and that makes me a happy camper (pun intended). I […]
Chocolate Cream Pie
Yesterday was National Chocolate Day. Bless this beautiful country that lets us have an entire day dedicated to chocolate. In honor of one of the best days of the year, I whipped up a chocolate cream pie. The good news is this pie is good any day, so don’t feel like you have to wait […]
Cinnamon Apple Donuts
October is coming to a close, so I had to squeeze in another apple recipe before it becomes all about the Christmas baking. Brace yourselves, because I’m the person who puts their Christmas tree up on November 1st. I have always found donuts to be daunting, and therefore never given them a shot. I’m glad […]
