Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 grams Caramel candies
- 2 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until thick and pale, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until warm. Add the caramel candies and stir gently until fully melted and smooth.
Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie layer in the pan. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the caramel layer.
Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, ensuring it completely covers the caramel.
Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid the caramel layer when testing).
Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Optional: sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt for added flavor contrast.
