Caramel Pretzel Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 bag individually wrapped caramels , 14 ounce
• 1 package fudge brownie mix , 18.3 ounce
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 0.25 cups water
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup chopped pretzels
• 0.75 cups chocolate chips
• 0.33 cups chocolate-covered toffee bits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.

2. 2

   Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a bowl until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Press three rows of 6 caramel halves into the brownie batter so there will be one in the center of each brownie.

3. 3

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.

4. 4

   Combine remaining caramels, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe, glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).

5. 5

   Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies. Scatter pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits over top. Cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 18 squares.
