Hey y'all, I'm Danielle - the crazy behind this blog, where I share my creative life adventures as I survive life as a momma of 5 superheroes & wife to my best friend & fellow nerd.

A few weeks ago I bought a bunch of those new Caramel Milky Ways, wanting to surprise Hubby with them. He liked them, but not as much as normal Milky Ways – just TOO much caramel (is that possible?). He then looks at me and smiles ‘they might go good in brownies….’. That’s ALL it took, and out came the ingredients and dishes! Who cares it was like 10pm? I was getting TOLD to make brownies – Booyah!
These turned out so gooey, yummy and full of chocolate-caramel goodness. These may be ‘mysteriously’ showing up on my counter again soon!
Ingredients
Caramel Milky Way – mini sized (I did a full layer, using about 36, but you can choose)
3 cups Sugar
1 1/2 cup Flour
1 cup Cocoa Powder
3/4 tsp. Baking Powder
6 Eggs
1 1/2 cup Oil
3/4 tsp. Salt
6 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Spray or line a 13×9 baking pan.
Combine the Sugar, Flour, Cocoa Powder, Baking Powder and Salt in a medium bowl.
Add in the Eggs, Oil and Vanilla Extract until well-incorporated.
Pour half the batter into the pan. Layer with Caramel Milky Ways. Top with remaining batter.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Check often starting at 25 minutes.
NOTES: If desired, you could cut up the Milky Way pieces and sprinkle them for a layer instead of doing the whole mini bar.

Susan says
August 10, 2014 at 1:24 pmI would love to make these but I am confused as to how much sugar I am supposed to use.
Danielle says
August 10, 2014 at 2:09 pmI’m so sorry, Susan! It’s 3 cups (they’re THICK brownies in a BIG pan) – I got that error fixed on the post. 🙂
Susan says
August 12, 2014 at 3:10 pmThank you so much! I can’t wait to make them 🙂
Nancy says
January 22, 2015 at 7:09 pmIs the “3cup2sugar” a misprint in the recipe? What should it read?
Danielle says
January 23, 2015 at 3:18 pmGood question, Nancy….I wonder why, but that was an error fixed many months ago. When I look now, it’s corrected. Perhaps there’s a ‘cookies’ thing with your browser pulling up the old version? Anywho, it’s 3 cups Sugar 🙂
