For a richer caramel flavor, use salted butter and add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel sauce. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or cashews. If you don't have peanut butter chips, you can substitute them with white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips. To prevent the popcorn from burning, consider tenting the baking dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)
03
StepPour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even, thin layer. (2 minutes)
04
StepEvenly distribute the popped popcorn over the brownie batter, gently pressing it into the batter to help it adhere. (3 minutes)
05
StepSprinkle the peanuts, chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips over the popcorn layer. (2 minutes)
06
StepIn a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the brown sugar until smooth. (2 minutes)
07
StepBring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking constantly, and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the caramel is smooth and slightly thickened. Be careful not to burn the caramel. (5 minutes)
08
StepDrizzle the warm caramel evenly over the popcorn mixture in the baking dish. (2 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the brownies are set around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. (30-35 minutes)
10
StepRemove from the oven and let cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into bars. For cleaner cuts, chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing. (30 minutes)
