Caramel salted brownies are my life. What do I do when I have a good day? Bake caramel salted brownies. What do I do when I have a bad day? Bake caramel salted brownies. What do I do when I can't sleep in the middle of the night? Bake caramel salted brownies. You get the picture.

I still like to use the recipe I posted a few months ago (especially for vegan friends), but it can be a bit temperamental since I always just improvised with the caramel. After experimenting with dozens of recipes, I've found that this King Arthur fudge brownie recipe plus this Smitten Kitchen buttery caramel sauce is a fail-proof, mind-blowing, perfect combination.
The key to these brownies is taking them out of the oven 5-10 minutes before the recipe says they are done. In order to achieve the fudgey consistency, they have to cool and refrigerate for at least a couple hours. If not, you'll just be eating warm brownie batter (if you decide to do this, I am in no place to pass judgement).

Don't take these brownies on unless you are prepared to become addicted. Last night I received a text from my friend that said, "Please don't bring brownies tomorrow. We are all getting fat." Then immediately following, "Kidding, we all want them!!!" These things are no joke.

you could have told me i would become addicted before i baked them on the weekend because....i am so addicted that i am starting to worry. but its worth getting fat for these little guys haha x
I think I am definitely prepared to become addicted to these. I've looked at the recipes so may times I feel like I've already made them...
Those look absolutely delightful!
i would totally eat the warm batter. no shame here.
My friend made me these brownies for my birthday last summer. At first I thought they sounded weird but they are so delicious! I've been craving them ever since.
I can't explain how obsessed my mom and I have become with these, but I think you probably know. The weekends I'm not making them, my mom is. We take them to events, dinner parties, give them as gifts. So thank you for the life-long gift of deliciousness you've bestowed. We are eternally grateful. :)
Can't wait to try this variation!
Yum! I recently made salted caramel brownies -- they were suuuuper rich in flavor.
well heck, you said fail proof! i've got to try them now!
Thanks for the fail-proof recipe! I definitely failed on my last attempt.
Also, I don't know how you stay skinny when you make these brownies all the time! They look dangerous!
Mmm.. I haven't had brownies in SO LONG. These look divine.
I find anything with salted caramel tastes delicious. I made a salted caramel cake with salted caramel frosting it was the hit of the party!
YES! I'll for sure be trying these! They look absolutely mind blowing!

god they look amazinggg
I have a question... My mom and I are going to make these while I'm home. Do you let the brownies cool before putting the caramel sauce on? Or do you pour the sauce on when it's right out of the oven? Thanks!!
I made these the other night and you are right, amazing combo.
but, I have the exact same questions as above:
when do you put the caramel syrup on? Is it baked with the brownies or poured on after.
And I think when I looked at the previous recipe, you actually baked a layer of caramel between the brownies? is that the case for these as well?
Thanks!

Put the caramel on the batter before baking. I usually do a layer in the middle and a layer on top, because the Smitten Kitchen caramel recipe yields enough to do that! If you put it all on top, the brownies don't bake quite as evenly.
For something completely different, you COULD pour the sauce on after (since the caramel sauce is amazing on its own) for more of a brownie sundae type thing!
okay, thanks!
I assumed yours looked baked, but couldn't tell.
I did end up putting it on top after I baked it and it definitely sat on it and didn't sink in like it looks when you bake it, but it was still tasty!
Next time I'll definitely bake it.

Oh man! These brownies are amazing! I love brownies and have had many, many successful and failed attempts at getting the right sized pan, right recipe etc, etc. I thought I had found a great one...until I tried this one! This brownie recipe trumps all previous attempts!!!!!! Thank you for sharing! :)
Wao! yummy dish. my all friends like it. even when we think to throw a party, we simply go to jim's home . His mother make it for us from browni recipe .
Oh boy! We are having a huge end of summer Birthday BBQ for my little guy on labor day. I am always trying to whip up some new chocolatey treat to share with friends. This is certainly it. They may all hate me at the end cause I would have started a new addiction (lasted one was salted chocolate toffee squares), but that's OK. These look worth it!
