Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups caramel candies
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter in the microwave or over a pot of simmering water until completely melted.
Stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar until well combined. Add 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
In another bowl, sift together 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.75 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt 1.5 cups of caramel candies with 0.25 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
Pour the melted caramel over the brownie layer in the pan, then carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, ensuring an even coverage.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares and serving.
