Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup caramel sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and pale in color, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Reserve 1/4 cup of the brownie batter for later, then pour the remaining batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Warm the caramel sauce slightly if it's too thick, then drizzle it over the brownie batter in the pan. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Dollop the reserved brownie batter over the top and swirl it lightly into the caramel layer.
Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top for a hint of salty contrast.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Serve and enjoy the perfect balance of fudgy chocolate and buttery caramel with every bite!
