Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 1 teaspoon sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until well combined.
3. Add cocoa powder and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend thoroughly.
4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing just until blended.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
7. Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then spread the remaining brownie batter on top.
8. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and use a knife to gently swirl it into the batter.
9. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Sprinkle sea salt over the brownies immediately after removing from the oven.
10. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Helpful Tips

• For easier drizzling: Warm the caramel sauce slightly in the microwave.
• Substitute: Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper flavor.
• Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
• Variations: Add a handful of chopped nuts for extra texture.

Pairings
