Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 large eggs
• 1 (14 ounce) bag individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, divided
• 1 cup chopped pretzels
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 1 (18.3 ounce) package fudge brownie mix (such as Betty Crocker®)
• 0.75 cup chocolate chips
• 0.33333334326744 cup chocolate-covered toffee bits

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.

Step 2

Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a bowl until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Press three rows of 6 caramel halves into the brownie batter so there will be one in the center of each brownie.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Step 4

Combine remaining caramels, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe, glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).

Step 5

Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies. Scatter pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits over top. Cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 18 squares.
