The Best Salted Caramel Brownies You'll Ever Have | Cup of Jo (2024)

Just came back to this recipe and noticed the date…I make these every year ;)

How many servings does this recipe make?

Made these last night and I thought there was something wrong at first – they took 50+ minutes in the oven and I thought there was too much sugar (a more gritty fudgy texture) – but this morning when I gave them out, people loved them! They’re definitely different from normal brownie recipes.

This flavor combination has changed my life ( and made my temptation muscles weak! )

Does anyone know how much brownie does this recipe make?

What kind of chocloate? Semisweet? Bittersweet? Unsweetened? Thanks.

iI made these today! best brownies ever and very easy!

how much grams is 4 1-oz. squares of dark chocolate?

I tried this recipe yesterday! Amazing!!

I made these recently for a potluck dinner party and these were a HUGE hit. I’m a big fan of the “from scratch” brownies because they really don’t take that much longer to make. The caramel seeps into the brown so every bite is divine. I also was a tad more generous with the sea salt and served with vanilla bean ice cream. Neither hurt one bit. Thanks for sharing! – Julie, http://www.behomemade.com

I’m thinking I will try these with a box of ‘no pudge fudge’ brownies and boiled sweetened condensed milk since I have those in the pantry. woohooo!!!

Dear Joanna,
I am reading your blog now already for a while and never wrote you how inspiring your texts are. Now I feel the urge to thank you for your great recipes. For our companies christmas charity bake sale I baked the Lemon Cake, the Caramel Brownies and almost died when I tasted the best Frosting ever for the Red Velvet Sheet Cake. My colleagues made so many compliments that I had to share them with you. Thank you for making me look like a very good baker if in fact this is all thanks to your great recipes.
Greetings from Munich, Germany

Who’s*

just pulled these out of the oven after subway/walking to williams-sonoma this afternoon to pick up that caramel sauce. (yay for living in the city of philadelphia! and online, did you see that sauce is backordered? the lady at the store told me it’s won all types of awards. crazy!) anyway, that sauce is definitely not within my usual budget, but i’m counting it as the gift for the birthday party i’m taking these to. =) the brownies smell delicious. excited to sink my teeth into them!

Made these last night and they were really good, but I think there is an error in the recipe. I think it is supposed to call for four 1 oz squares “unsweetened” chocolate. I used dark chocolate and it was overly sweet and not very chocolaty. Still good, though!

Wow – these look amazing! A diversion for putting up Christmas decorations this weekend. Side note: some of the negative comments on this site lately are SO unwarranted. Joanna – keep doing your thing, and hopefully those with too much time on their hands troll other blogs.

Looks good, but dulce de leche as recommended is made for spreading, not “drizzling.” It will drizzle as easly as peanut butter does.

joanna! who’s not whose!

must have one now! :)

My coworker makes these brownies and they are to DIE for!! I’m not even really a chocolate person (crazy I know) but these are fabulous!!

And I’m hungry :)

OMG these look so good. Never thought to put salt on brownies. I have to try this!

so true about sea salt..just working on a post about my chocolate chip cookies with sea salt. at kateuhryblog.com!

I love caramel brownies! Yum!

Your recipes always sound so great! Is there a way you could modify your posts to allow an easily printable recipe? Thanks – I’ll get around to the apple crisp soon!

wonderful, I would love to do it but I live in Italy and I do not understand what 4 1-oz. squares of dark chocolate means. How much is that in grams, does it mean 41 squares of chocolate? can anyone help me convert this, I couldn’t do it through Google. thanks!

Um. No. The best salted caramel brownies come from Amelie’s French Bakery in Charlotte, NC not from a box. The recipe for the dark chocolate brownie looks easy, but ordinary. Pass.

Looks deeee-licious!

I am not opposed to using brownie mixes and store bought carmel sauce but I would think that for a “the best___ you’ll ever have” recipe that I would find a homemade recipe.

I shall be making and eating these tonight. :)

So excited to see Victoria featured on your blog, Jo! And these brownies look amazing.

oh these look sooo good!!

I feel like sea salt is to dessert what goat cheese was to salads some years ago! Anyway, I love both of them! These look delicious! I don’t know if my hips would look delicious as well after a bunch of them… ;-) Oh, and thanks for introducing me to Victoria, I didn’t know her blog and is amazing!

Oh my goooodnessssss. These look ah-maze-ing!

Oh yum! Those look totally delicious:) Have a great day. xoxo

OH MY GOODNESS! Why would you do this to me so early in the morning!! Now I must have them…lol. I’ve always loved sweet & salty together, but you are right, the world has taken that idea to a whole new level! YUM!

i.want.these.right.now!

these look sinfully good. and like a complete mess. a complete, good, caramelly mess.

so ight- love the salt on sweet!these look amazeballs!

these look delicious, but I am surprised to see the carmel sauce is bought, not made. It is so easy – (sugar, water, butter, cream) Is it better you think?

Ah – those look so good and are making me so hungry right now! It’s torture to a 9 month pregnant lady!!! ;-)
