Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 30 pieces caramel candies
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy lifting.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar-egg mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the brownie base is baking, place the caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
Pour the melted caramel over the partially baked brownie base, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the caramel layer with sea salt flakes.
Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, gently spreading it out to cover as much of the caramel as possible. It’s okay if some caramel peeks through.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the top of the batter.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy the gooey deliciousness!
