Looking for the ultimate Chocolate Brownies? This easy Caramel Brownies recipe is for you! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.
Now that Easter is just around the corner (eek!) I thought I’d kick off my new Easter recipes for the this year with these irresistible Easter Caramel Brownies. This recipe contains just under TWO packs of Caramel Easter Eggs plus a few of the larger Caramel Filled Easter Eggs, but never fear if you can’t get your hands on these, you can also use Caramel filled chocolate. Hooray!
These Caramel Brownies are rich and gooey and the key is to make sure you don’t overcook them and then leave them in the tin to ‘set’ further upon cooling. However if you can’t wait to try them (and I don’t blame you!) they are also REALLY good eaten warm with some ice-cream. This recipe is based on my Triple Chocolate and Creme Egg Brownies – both of which also make a great easy Easter dessert.
Some tips for making these Easter Caramel Brownies include:
- You can just use one bag on mini caramel eggs for this recipe, however to ensure you have lots of caramel eggs in each bite, I like to use 1 ½ packs plus a few bigger caramel filled eggs.
- You can also substitute the caramel filled Easter eggs for caramel chocolate.
- Instead of using chocolate chips, you can also use chopped milk or dark chocolate.
- Take care not to overcook these brownies, as you want them to be gooey in the middle and not completely cooked through like a cake.
- Store these brownies in an airtight container for 2 – 3 days.
