Ingredients
  

  • Unsalted butter
  • Granulated sugar
  • Brown sugar
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • All-purpose flour
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Salt
  • Baking powder
  • Soft caramel candies or homemade caramel sauce
  • Heavy cream
  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Pan

  • Line a square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave extra paper on sides. This helps remove brownies easily.

Melt Butter and Sugar

  • Melt butter in a bowl. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and shiny.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

  • Add eggs one at a time. Whisk well after each egg. Mix in vanilla extract gently.

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until evenly mixed.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

  • Add dry ingredients to wet mixture slowly. Fold gently using a spatula. Do not overmix.

Prepare the Caramel Sauce

  • Heat caramel candies with heavy cream in a saucepan. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Layer the Batter and Caramel

  • Pour half the brownie batter into the pan. Spread evenly. Drizzle caramel sauce on top carefully.

Add Final Batter Layer

  • Spoon remaining batter over caramel. Spread gently to cover most caramel areas.

Sprinkle Sea Salt

  • Sprinkle sea salt flakes lightly over the top. Do not add too much salt.

Bake the Brownies

  • Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C. Bake for about 30 minutes. Center should stay slightly soft.

Cool Before Cutting

  • Let brownies cool completely in the pan. This helps set the layers properly before slicing.

Notes

  • Use good quality cocoa powder for deeper chocolate flavor.
  • Do not overbake or brownies will become dry.
  • Add chocolate chips for extra richness.
  • Use dark chocolate caramel for intense taste.
  • Add chopped nuts for crunch if you like.
  • Sprinkle extra sea salt after baking for bold flavor.
