Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies
Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies are rich, decadent and will make you deliriously happy. 🙂 Seriously, I hit the gold mine with this terrific recipe. I started with one of my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes and added Sea Salt Caramel chips. But instead of making them into cookies I chose to try them out as brownies instead. Of course, it never hurts when you add a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream and some caramel sauce over top. 🙂

I know you’re going to call me the “Sea Salt Caramel Queen,” with all the sea salt caramel recipes I currently have on my blog. But I just can’t resist them. I have one with Double Chocolate, one in brownies with caramel icing, and one with peanut butter chips. I also have one with just salted caramel chips, one with chocolate chips and one with white chocolate chips. I even have one with peanut butter brownies, oh yum. Yes, I love baking with sea salt caramel chips, they’re just so heavenly.
I got a call from a friend in February. She was wondering if I could make a dessert for the youth luncheon on Saturday during our Disciple Now Weekend. So I looked through my pantry and saw several ingredients I really wanted to get rid of. The salted caramel chips and chocolate chunks had been collecting dust since Christmas cookie baking, so I really wanted to use them up. I decided to combine them in this fantastic recipe. Ding, ding, ding, ding, D-I-N-G! Yes, they really are that good.
The crazy thing about finding sea salt caramel chips in the DFW Metroplex is so few stores carry them. John found these at Kroger. Sometimes I can locate the Hershey’s brand at Wal-Mart. They are starting to get more popular, thank goodness. Even still, it was time for these chips to be on the chopping block. 🙂
The brownies turned out awesome and the kids wolfed them down. Along with my Fudgy Sprinkle Brownies they were the first brownies to go that weekend. If you need something to cure your sweet tooth cravings, then put these Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies on your list immediately! They’re perfect for summer holiday fun like Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day parties. They’re also terrific for tailgating or office parties. Believe you, me, they will be snatched up so fast it will make your head spin. 🙂

Sea Salt Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies are terrific served ala mode with a little caramel sauce thrown in. 🙂
Caramels and chocolate are heavenly.
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Soften butter. Place in a large mixing bowl with granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and sea salt.
Cream ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth.
Add UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour. (Bleached flour toughens baked goods). Add chocolate chunks and sea salt caramel chips.
Stir ingredients together with a wooden spoon to combine.
Press mixture into a greased 9×13″ glass baking dish. Smooth top.
Bake at 350 for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely before cutting into bars. These make great treats for tailgating parties.
Yes, a dollop of ice cream and caramel sauce makes this dessert even dreamier.
