Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup toffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure it doesn’t cook the eggs.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the brownies are cooling, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just steaming (do not boil).
Remove the cream from heat and stir in the dark chocolate chips. Let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy to create the ganache.
Once the brownies are completely cooled, spread the chocolate ganache evenly over the top.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the ganache in a zigzag pattern.
Sprinkle the crushed toffee bits evenly over the top of the brownies.
Refrigerate the brownies for 30 minutes to set the ganache before slicing into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy the most indulgent brownies you’ve ever had!
