Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 6 full-size bars Milky Way candy bars (chopped)
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Gently fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and half of the chopped Milky Way bars.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter and sprinkle with half of the remaining Milky Way pieces.
Spread the remaining brownie batter on top, smoothing it out with a spatula. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce and sprinkle the rest of the Milky Way pieces on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Slice into squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
