Deliciously fudgy salted caramel brownies featuring a rich chocolate base swirled with luscious caramel and finished with a sprinkle of sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Caramel

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Melt Butter and Combine with Sugar: Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl or over low heat on the stove until fully liquid. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. The mixture will be slightly grainy, which helps create the glossy brownie top.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. The batter will thicken and become shiny.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps and achieve a smooth batter.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix just until combined, taking care not to overmix to avoid tough brownies.
  6. Layer Batter and Caramel: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over it. Carefully spread the remaining brownie batter on top. Swirl the remaining caramel sauce across the surface with a knife or skewer to create decorative caramel ribbons.
  7. Bake the Brownies: Bake for 35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly underbaked to preserve a fudgy texture.
  8. Add Sea Salt and Cool: Immediately after removing from the oven, evenly sprinkle the teaspoon of sea salt over the top. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a cooling rack to set properly.
  9. Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares and enjoy your fudgy salted caramel brownies!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easier removal and cleaner edges.
  • Do not overbake as it will reduce the fudginess of the brownies.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a richer caramel flavor, use homemade salted caramel sauce if possible.
  • To make the brownies gluten free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
