List of Ingredients
14 ounces caramels
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nutsRecipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place caramels and sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring often, until caramels are completely melted
and ingredients are blended.
While caramels are cooking, place shortening in a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Beat sugar and eggs and then add cocoa powder, milk and cooled shortening. Set aside.
Sift flour, salt and baking powder and add to chocolate mixture, beating thoroughly. Stir in chocolate chips and 1/2 cup nuts. Place 2/3 rds of the batter in a greased 13x9" baking pan and bake for 12 minutes.
Remove brownies from oven and pour melted caramels over top. Sprinkle with remaining nuts. Drop remaining third of batter by teaspoonfuls evenly over brownies and smooth out top. Using a knife, cut through batter to marbleize.
Return pan to oven and bake for an additional 25-28 min. Remove from oven and cover with foil for 1 hour. Refrigerate with foil still on for another hour or until cooled. Cut into 3x 1/2" bars.
