Salted Caramel Brownies

01Method

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 13x9-inch baking pan by greasing it and lining the bottom with parchment paper, then grease the paper as well.

2. 2

   Place the caramels and the smaller portion of almond milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for another minute and continue stirring until fully smooth. Set the caramel mixture aside.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, mix together the melted vegan buttery sticks, cake mix, flour, and the larger portion of almond milk until well combined. Spread half of this batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 8 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the chocolate chips over the partially baked base. Pour the caramel mixture on top, then add the walnuts. Drop small spoonfuls of the remaining batter over the caramel layer. Return to the oven and bake for 17 to 20 minutes until set. Immediately sprinkle with sea salt, then allow to cool completely, approximately 2 hours.
