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 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans, almonds)
- 0.75 cup caramel sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the mixed nuts, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, swirling it lightly with a knife or toothpick. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top, spreading evenly.
Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top of the batter and swirl it again lightly. Sprinkle reserved nuts and a pinch of sea salt on top, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm for an ultra-gooey treat, or let them cool completely for cleaner cuts.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
