One Bowl Chocolate Caramel Brownies are a decadent treat for any chocolate lover.  Who doesn't love rich fudgy brownies?  Add some chocolate caramel filled candies to the batter and you've got a dessert that will excite any choco-holic.  

I've been so busy this summer, quick and easy has been the name of the game.  This One Bowl Chocolate Caramel Brownies recipe fits my needs, and honestly, it's as easy as opening a box of brownie mix but tastes so much better!  Everything is whisked together in one big bowl which is not only super easy, but saves you clean up time! 

This recipe uses unsweetened chocolate, which you can buy in bars and melt in the microwave with the butter or, take the even easier route, and buy in pre-melted pouches.  I decided to add chocolate caramel candies as another layer of great flavor to the basic recipe.  I love that you can buy your favorite candies now in mini sizes.  They are perfect for adding into things like these brownies! There are also caramel filled chocolate chips available, which would work great in this recipe too! 

What occasion would you make these One Bowl Chocolate Caramel Brownies for?

These brownies were requested by my middle son before he went back to college.  He loves sweets and he loved these delicious brownies.  I'm already thinking about making them again and switching up the candies I add!  So many possibilities!
