Well our week of Weddings in a Jar is coming to an end tomorrow and what would a mason jar collection be without a sweet and delicious dessert in a jar? So I created a Salted Caramel Brownie Parfait for you! It’s a perfect dessert any time and for any occasion…but during the whole Wedding experience there are so many special dinners…brunches…lunches…coffee time and I can think of any way to celebrate it better than with one of these yummy creations.
–
These pretty little desserts are so simple to make!
–
–
I have to admit…I cheated a bit with these but when you are in a hurry and still want to make a beautiful dessert…cheating is aok!
–
–
How did I cheat you ask? Well I used a good brownie mix and added a handful of chocolate chips into the batter for extra chocolate goodness…it is so quick and easy it saves you tons of time. Save the brownies from scratch for when you are serving them on their own…by the time you add all of the extra goodness…no one will ever know you didn’t slave over them!
–
–
All you need now is whipped cream…chocolate pudding…caramel sauce and crushed Kit Kat bars or any candy of your choice!
–
Oh yes…we need one more thing…we need to make them and it is oh so simple!
–
- 1 Box of Brownie Mix...follow directions and add a handful of chocolate chips into the batter and bake as directed. When cooled...cut into little squares.
- 1 pint of heavy cream whipped or 1 regular container of cool whip
- A batch of Homemade Chocolate Pudding or Pre-Made Chocolate Pudding of your choice
- 4 Regular Sized Kit Kat Bars or the candy of your choice like toffee...etc...
- Pre-Made Caramel Sauce or you can make your own...all I did was take
- ½ stick of butter...1 cup of packed brown sugar...1/2 cup of heavy cream...a pinch of salt. Put all your ingredients into a saucepan and whisk for about 7-10 minutes till it gets thicker. Cool and then pour into a jar then place in fridge till you are ready to use it.
- Once you have all of your ingredients lined up...
- place a layer of cubed brownies on the bottom
- ladle a good tablespoon of caramel sauce over the brownie layer
- sprinkle a little touch of kosher salt
- add a layer of whipped cream or cool whip
- sprinkle a thin layer of crumbled candy
- add a layer of chocolate pudding
- sprinkle a thin layer of crumbled candy
- add a layer of cool whip
- add another layer of brownie cubed brownies
- another ladle of caramel sauce with a pinch of salt
- at this point you can put the lids on and place them in the fridge till you are ready to use and then you can top them with cream...a drizzle of caramel sauce and a touch of candle crumbles.
Hope you enjoy this fun dessert!!! It really is easy!
Now let’s hop on over to my friends and see what fabulous Wedding In A Jar creations they have for us!

This looks incredible Andrea! YUM!
Ooh–all of my favorites in one jar–chocolate, caramel, and cream 🙂 Can’t wait to try it Andrea–
Oh this looks absolutely delicious, fatting but delicious! Three of my favorites, brownies, chocolate, and caramel. Thanks for sharing! Pinning & Sharing!
Just made these and they were amazing! Thank you so much for the genius recipe.
These look amazing – can you make these two days ahead and store in the fridge? or how far ahead would you recommend?
Hi there Jacq! How are you : ) Oh yes…2 days is just fine! They hold up really fabulously! Actually…they are better when they sit for 2 days…the caramel soaks in a bit more and it is even tastier! : ) Sure hope you enjoy them!!! Here’s wishing you and yours a FABULOUS Holiday Season! Hugs…
Can I make them in advance and freeze these?
Hi there… how are you Sheva. I have to be honest with you… I don’t think I would freeze them all made and in the jar. You could certainly make the brownies and freeze them so it is quicker to put together. I will tell you that if you have all the stuff ready to go… it does not take much time at all and will stay in the fridge nicely for a few days : ) Sure hope that helps…once again… I wish I could tell you what you want to hear but I have to be honest because I want it the best it can be for you. Take care…hugs…have a great weekend…
This looks so good can’t wait to make it!! Great dessert to make for a competition!!! Thanks for the help! I do have 1 question though! Is it ok to mash the brownies after cooked and add some chocolate sauce or is the extra chocolate took much?
Hi there Ella! How are you. So glad you like the idea of the Parfait and YES you can mash them and add chocolate sauce… it is my life experience that there is NEVER TOO MUCH CHOCOLATE 🙂 I am sure it will be delish!!! Here’s a little tip for more chocolate goodness… depending on your brownie recipe… if it has a liquid being added… instead of all water or milk… add 1/2 Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup… adds moisture and chocolate goodness! Hope you and your family ENJOY! Sending wishes for a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! Hugs!
What size mason jar do you use?
Hi there Sandy! How are you 🙂 Hope all is well in your world. I used an 8 ounce mason jar 🙂 Sure hope you enjoy these!!! Sending hug and wishes for a wonderful day!
Can I make the pudding and brownies the day before and assemble the dessert the next day?
I AM SOOOOOOOOO sorry that I am getting here late! I apologize profusely! YES… you can make the pudding and the brownies before… NO PROBLEM! I really hope you enjoy!!! Wishing you and yours all that is good! Hugs!
