Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- 0.5 cup Caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoons Coarse sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove the pan from heat and stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the bowl, whisking as you go, until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the chopped pecans (or walnuts) for added crunch.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter, avoiding the edges. Next, spoon the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle the coarse sea salt evenly over the top for a perfect sweet-and-salty balance.
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 before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Ultimate Caramel Nut Brownies!
