Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Box brownie mix double-chocolate, 18-Ounce
  • ¼ Cup whole milk
  • 1 egg large, beaten
  • ⅔ Stick unsalted butter ⅓ Cup, melted, plus more for skillet
  • 20 caramels unwrapped
  • 1 Cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ Cup almonds roasted and salted, chopped or thinly sliced

To Serve

  • vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  • Heat a campfire or charcoal grill to a medium heat.
  • Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with butter.
  • Stir the brownie mix, egg, milk, butter, almonds, and about half the marshmallows together in a bowl.
  • Transfer this mixture into the skillet.
  • Arrange the caramel candies and remaining marshmallows on top of the brownie mixture.
  • Put the skillet directly on about 8 warm coals.
  • Cover it with a second skillet the same size and add 15 warm coals on top of that.
  • Cook the brownies, rotating the pan 3 times, for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • The caramel brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs clinging on.
  • Let the caramel brownies cool for 10 minutes, then serve with ice cream.

Notes

Coal control: Use warm coals, not flames, so the bottom doesn’t scorch.
Lid swap: If you don’t have a second skillet or lidded cast iron skillet, foil can work but watch the heat closely.
Serving: Scoop while warm for the best caramel pull.
