Tips for making the best Triple Chip Caramel Brownies:

  • Make sure to use a baking pan.  Is there a difference between a baking pan and a baking dish? Yes! A baking pan is made of metal and a baking dish is made of glass or ceramic.
  • I made the mistake of using a baking dish the first time I ever made these Caramel Brownies and they never fully cooked in the center, but the baking pan cooked them perfectly.
  • To make the caramel just melt caramel candy with heavy cream in your microwave for one minute and stir to combined.  It is very quick and easy.
  • Can you use pre-made caramel topping?  Yes.  You can put it on straight out of the container or put some in a microwave safe bowl to warm up and then layer over brownies.  If you use a pre-made version buy the caramel in the squeeze bottle to layer over brownies easier, this is what I used on my Caramel Pumpkin Brownie Skillet. 
  • Although you are going to want to dive right into these Triple Chip Caramel Brownies as soon as they come out of the oven, let them cool just for about 20 minutes to allow them to set before cutting.
  • Is there a way to get them to cool fast?  Yes.  If you place parchment paper inside the baking pan that extends over the sides of the pan when you bake them, you can pull the brownies out by grabbing the parchment paper and allowing them to cool outside the pan quicker.
  • You can use any type of nuts you like or omit them all together if there is some type of food allergy.

Step-by-Step Instructions

How to Make Triple Chip Caramel Brownies

  1. Prep the Pan: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan. Line with parchment if desired.
  2. Melt & Mix: In a large heavy saucepan, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with the butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in eggs, then flour, sugar, baking soda, and vanilla.
  3. Assemble: Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, and chopped nuts on top.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes. Use parchment to lift brownies from the pan and set on a cooling rack. Let cool at least 20 minutes.
  5. Add Caramel: Microwave the caramels and cream in a small bowl on HIGH for 1 minute; stir. Continue in 10–15 second intervals until melted. Drizzle over the warm brownies.
  6. Cool & Serve: Allow brownies to fully cool, then slice into squares.

Can I use caramel sauce instead of melting caramels?

Yes, but the texture might be thinner. Warm slightly before drizzling.

What’s the best way to cut brownies cleanly?

Let them cool completely and use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.

Can I double this recipe?

Absolutely! Just use a larger baking pan and increase the bake time slightly.
