Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Light brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 200 grams Caramel candies
• 2 teaspoons Flaky sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and eggs until thick and pale, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat until warm. Add the caramel candies and stir gently until fully melted and smooth.

Step 8

Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie layer in the pan. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the caramel layer.

Step 9

Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, ensuring it completely covers the caramel.

Step 10

Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid the caramel layer when testing).

Step 11

Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 12

Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Slice into 12 squares and serve. Optional: sprinkle with additional flaky sea salt for added flavor contrast.
