Salted Caramel Brownie Bites
All of you moms out there know what it’s like to try and lose those extra pounds and the kangaroo pouch after the babies are born. I find myself counting calories, working out.. and the entire time I am dreaming of things filled with ooey gooey chocolate, slathered in caramel.
It’s a problem. What does a mom who loves brownies but wants to spend the summer in a bikini do?
My solution? Make the brownies!
But only a small batch! If you are like me, things with caramel and chocolate do not stand a chance. You have issues with self control. That big 9×13 pan of fudgy goodness is going to be eaten. It just happens before you know it.
However, a smaller batch of brownies made in a mini muffin pan will ensure you only have a bite or two. Right? Well, maybe.

These were delicious! More of a dark chocolate brownie, which I loved. I used smuckers caramel sauce on top, which was a little runny but still tasted great! They did get a little over baked though, I should’ve done more like 13 minutes.
So glad you liked them! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Hi- I tried melting Kraft caramels in the microwave but they ended up being so difficult to use (1/2 the bag burned, and the other camels hardened so quickly that it was difficult to spread on top of the little brownies). Is the Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Dip easy to spread? Do you use a teaspoon to drop it on top? I’m making these for a baby-shower and presentation is key. Thank you!
The caramel dip is very easy to spread – it’s soft and dippable (or spreadable) at room temperature. If you choose to use the Kraft caramels, I’d recommend heating them slowly over a double burner with some cream to keep them soft when they’re cooled.
mm, brownie bites are sooooo good! love the caramel filling :)
