Caramel Pretzel Brownies

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Cut 9 caramels in half.

Step 2
Beat brownie mix, vegetable oil, water, and eggs in a bowl until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Press three rows of 6 caramel halves into the brownie batter so there will be one in the center of each brownie.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out almost clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Step 4
Combine remaining caramels, butter, and milk in a microwave-safe, glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted, 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).

Step 5
Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies. Scatter pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits over top. Cool for 20 minutes before cutting into 18 squares.
