Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 15–20 soft caramels or 1/2 cup thick caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until thick and pale.
- Slowly stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold gently until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Layer the caramels or spoon caramel sauce evenly over the batter.
- Top with the remaining brownie batter and spread to cover the caramel layer.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and gooey caramel centers.
Notes
- For salted caramel brownies, sprinkle sea salt over the caramel before adding the top layer of batter.
- Chill before slicing for neater cuts and firmer texture.
- Add espresso powder or nuts for flavor variations.
- Use a metal baking pan for crisp edges and even baking.
- Caramel should be thick enough to avoid sinking or dissolving.
