Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs Make sure they are at room temperature.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
  • 1 cup chocolate chips For added richness.
  • 1 cup caramel sauce You can substitute with dulce de leche if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix well until creamy and smooth.
  3. Crack in the eggs and add the vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until well incorporated.
  5. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  6. Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and pour caramel sauce over the brownie base, followed by a sprinkle of chocolate chips. Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the top and spread gently.
  8. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly soft.
  9. Allow the caramelitas to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For saving, wrap individual squares and freeze; they can last up to three months. For reheating, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
