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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Gently fold in the mixed nuts, reserving a small handful for topping if desired.

Step 7

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 11

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.

Step 12

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
