Fat Witch Bakery’s Legendary Chocolate Caramel Brownies are soft, crisp, gooey, chocolate-y, chewy, decadent, rich, fudgy and cakey all in one bite. I know what you’re thinking, “Sure they are, they’re just brownies, how are they ALL of those things?!” The only thing I can say is these aren’t legendary for being one dimensional average brownies. There are lines and fanatics for this bakery because what they do is magic. These brownies may as well be magical they are so good.

The better you get to know me you’ll understand my love/eh relationship with chocolate. In its most basic form I could take or leave chocolate (I’m a fried/salty craver), but in its most pure and delicious forms, I LOVE it. Fat Witch Bakery Brownies, Tate’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, Jacque Torres Chocolate Chip Cookies and my all time favorite David Lebovitz’s Chocolate Idiot Cake. Put any of those things on a table in front of me (even next to some In ‘n Out!) and it is no contest, I will eat the whole plate of chocolate.

Every time my husband and I would visit New York when we lived in Washington DC we would head to the Fat Witch Bakery in the morning for fresh brownies with our coffee (I would grab two caramel ones and my husband would get an original) and then on the way out of the city in the evening we would pop by for happy hour. Seeing one of these caramel brownies at happy hour is like spotting a unicorn, but I did one time! I bought 4 of them for half off, promptly took them home and froze them! These brownies are worth hoarding!

If you haven’t been to the bakery it can be hard to understand why a brownie might be worth the effort these take. Like the 36 hour chocolate chip cookies, these are worth the effort!

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray a 9×9 baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper. These brownies are STICKY when they cool, you’ll need help getting them out! In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate, in 30 second increments. Fat Witch Bakery's Legendary Chocolate Caramel Brownies are soft, crisp, gooey, chocolate-y, chewy, decadent, rich, fudgy and cakey all in one bite.
After two rounds the butter should be melted. Let the bowl sit for 2-3 minutes and the heat will melt the chocolate.
Stir them together until fully combined and let cool. Put the caramels in a microwave safe bowl with the water.
Microwave for 1 minute, let sit for 2-3 minutes.
