Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal later.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together, stirring until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the brownie layer, swirling it lightly with a knife or toothpick.
Spread the remaining batter over the caramel layer, and repeat the caramel drizzling and swirling on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for gooey brownies.
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan. If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top while they're still slightly warm.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the baking dish and onto a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares and serve.
