These bars combine the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the chewy, buttery charm of cookies, topped with a luscious salted caramel swirl for a perfect sweet and salty treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 18.3 oz / 520 g) brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) water
  • About 1 cup (225 g) cookie dough (store-bought or homemade, chocolate chip or favorite kind)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Whisk until just smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overmix.
  3. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the batter layer, breaking into roughly 1-inch chunks if store-bought.
  5. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough and spread carefully.
  6. Drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top and swirl gently with a butter knife or skewer to create ribbons.
  7. Sprinkle a light pinch of sea salt flakes over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
  10. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep bars fudgy. Use a gentle hand when swirling caramel to avoid muddying the batter. Cool bars completely before slicing for clean cuts. Use a serrated knife for best slicing results. For gluten-free or vegan versions, substitute ingredients accordingly.
