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 unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 20 pieces soft caramels
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake for 15 minutes or until the surface is just set.
While the bottom layer is baking, prepare the caramel filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the caramel is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the partially baked brownie layer from the oven. Pour the melted caramel over the top, spreading it into an even layer, and avoiding the edges to prevent sticking.
Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, ensuring it completely covers the caramel.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the brownie (avoiding the caramel layer) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy the gooey caramel-filled decadence!
