Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter completely. Use 30-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting.
- Add granulated sugar to the melted butter and whisk thoroughly until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Crack the large eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
- Pour half the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the first layer of batter, then sprinkle half the chocolate chips.
- Pour the remaining batter over the caramel and chocolate chips, creating a second layer.
- Top with remaining caramel sauce and chocolate chips, creating a decorative swirl pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- For best results, chill the brownies for an hour to allow caramel and chocolate to set before serving.
Tips
- • Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration • Don't overmix the batter - this keeps brownies tender and fudgy • Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting • For extra richness, use high-quality cocoa powder • Allow brownies to cool completely for cleaner, more defined cuts • Chill brownies for an hour to let caramel and chocolate set perfectly • Serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for ultimate indulgence • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days • For extra decadence, drizzle additional caramel sauce when serving
