Ingredients

For the pie crust

1 pre-made pie shell or homemade pie dough

For the caramel filling

11 oz caramel bits or candies such as Kraft baking caramels
¼ cup heavy cream

For the brownie batter

¾ cup unsalted butter melted
¾ cup granulated sugar
½ cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie pan with your crust. Chill briefly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramel bits with heavy cream in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Whisk melted butter with both sugars until glossy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt, then fold gently into the wet mix until combined.
Spread half the brownie batter into the crust. Drizzle half the caramel, then top with remaining batter. Swirl in remaining caramel.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until edges set and center jiggles slightly.
Cool for 30 minutes, slice with a warm knife, and enjoy your gooey Caramel Brownie Pie.

Notes

For best results, slice with a warm knife to keep caramel ribbons neat. To switch things up, try a salted caramel topping for a sweet-salty twist on this Caramel Brownie Pie.
