Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 3/4 cup (75 g) unsweetened natural cocoa powder
  • 4 oz (115 g) semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped and melted
  • 1 cup (175 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) salted caramel sauce
  • Sea salt flakes for sprinkling on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt the butter and chopped semi-sweet chocolate together in a microwave or double boiler until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until thick and pale, about 3 minutes.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, then gradually fold in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture gently with a spatula.
  5. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together over the wet ingredients and fold carefully until no streaks remain.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
  8. Drizzle half the salted caramel sauce over the batter in an irregular pattern and swirl gently with a skewer or knife. Repeat layering with the remaining batter and caramel swirl.
  9. Sprinkle the top lightly with sea salt flakes.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs; the center should be slightly fudgy.
  11. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use gentle heat when melting chocolate and butter to avoid graininess. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and thick for a tender crumb. Swirl caramel before baking for integrated flavor pockets. Do not overbake; brownies should be slightly fudgy in the center. Sea salt flakes enhance flavor contrast.
