Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoons flaky sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly thickened.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, using a knife or toothpick to gently swirl it into the mixture.
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and swirl it again for a marbled effect.
Sprinkle the flaky sea salt evenly over the top layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy the perfectly balanced richness of chocolate and salted caramel!
