Caramel Brookies are made with brownie batter, chocolate chip cookie dough, caramel filled Hershey Kisses, chocolate chips, and topped with caramel sauce.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with foil and grease with nonstick baking spray. The foil will help remove the brookies after they have cooled.
Scoop spoonfuls of the cookie dough into the prepared pan and firmly press it into the bottom of the pan.
Place the Hershey kisses in rows in the pan. Gently press them down into the cookie dough. Set aside.
Add the oil and sugar in a medium bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until the eggs are completely incorporated.
In a separate bowl, add in the baking powder, cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat with the hand mixer until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Pour the brownie mixture on top of the cookie dough layer and carefully spread across the top.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the brownie batter.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about an hour before cutting.
Before serving, drizzle some caramel sauce across the top.
