Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup Milky Way candy bars, chopped (about 6 bars)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped Milky Way bars.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy and well combined.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the brownie layer, spreading it evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top of the cream cheese layer, then swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the brownie batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a pinch of espresso powder to the brownie batter.
- You can also substitute the Milky Way bars with Snickers or Twix for a different twist.
