I’m one of those kind of people: The kind that buys ingredients with no plan in mind, you know, just in case someday I might need them. A perfect example is the bag of Kraft caramel squares that I’ve been storing in the door of my freezer for going on three years now.

Sure of course they are expired by now, but they’ve been frozen all this time! And I’m pleased to tell you that frozen caramel doesn’t change texture or flavor. You are welcome. 

Caramel Stuffed Brownie Bites

Be sure to liberally oil the mini muffin pan inside the cups and on the tope between them as well. The brownie bites expand over the top and you do not want them to stick. 

Ingredients
2 cups or 400g granulated sugar
1 cup or 125g flour
1 cup or 120g Dutch process cocoa powder
3/4 cup or 94g icing sugar, sifted if lumpy
3/4 cup or 75g semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup or 180ml canola oil or other light oil, plus extra for pan
3 tablespoons full fat plain Greek style yogurt
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
24 caramel squares (I used the individually wrapped Kraft ones)

Method
Preheat the oven to 325°F or 163°C. Prepare your 24-cup mini muffin pan by brushing it with oil. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar and salt. Now add in the chocolate chips and stir to distribute them well. 


In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, yogurt and vanilla.


Fold the wet ingredients into the dry until barely combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Don’t over mix.


Spoon half of the thick batter into the muffin pan then poke one (unwrapped!) caramel in each muffin hole.


Cover with the second half of the brownie batter. 


Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are slightly cracked and shiny.


Remove from the oven and set aside to cool on a wire rack for about 25-30 minutes.

Use a heat resistant silicone spatula to carefully release the brownies from the muffin pan.


You may end up deforming them slightly but you can press them back into shape.

Place them on the wire rack to cool completely. 

Enjoy!
