Ingredients

Salted Caramel Frosting

  • ⅓ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons whole milk
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 2 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons Sea salt

Brownies

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix
  • ¾ cup Butter, melted
  • ⅓ cup evaporated milk
  • 1 large egg
  • chocolate syrup, for topping
  • Whipped cream , for topping
  • sliced banana, for topping
  • ice cream, for topping

Directions

Salted Caramel Frosting

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, milk and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, beating at medium speed with a mixer until combined. Beat in the vanilla.

Brownies

Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, evaporated milk and egg. Stir until smooth (the batter will be thick). Spread the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Gently spread frosting over the brownies; the frosting will thicken as it cools. Sprinkle with the sea salt, gently pressing to adhere. Cool completely. Cut into 1-inch pieces.

Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, banana slices and chocolate syrup.
