Salted Caramel Brownies
These salted caramel brownies are so decadent and fudgy. The caramel sauce gives these a sweet and salty flavor, and a soft chewy texture. Feel free to add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter to make these even more indulgent.

Ingredients
- 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 9-inch square baking pan
- Medium Bowl
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Assemble the hand mixer attachment on the power base, then install the beaters.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe, medium bowl, add the butter. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Remove bowl from microwave and add chocolate chips and sugar. Press power then the up arrow to mix on speed 2 until the chocolate is completely melted and combined with the sugar and butter.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract. Add 1 egg at a time, mixing after each until all are fully combined.
Step 5
Add the cocoa powder, flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Press power to begin mixing on speed 1 and then gradually increase to speed 4. Mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the brownie batter, then swirl the caramel sauce into the batter with a knife. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes.
Step 7
When baking is complete, remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Allow to cool completely, then top with the remaining caramel sauce.
