Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

For the Salted Caramel:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chopped into pieces

½ cup heavy cream

¾ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

For Topping:

Sea salt flakes for sprinkling

Optional: chocolate ganache or melted chocolate for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to facilitate easy removal later.

    Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

        Bake the Brownies: Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs (not wet batter).

          Make the Salted Caramel: In a medium saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. The sugar will clump together before melting. Once it’s completely melted and turns a golden amber color, immediately add the chopped butter and stir until melted. Gradually pour in the heavy cream (it will bubble up), then stir until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in sea salt.

            Layer the Brownies: When the brownie base is done baking, remove it from the oven and pour the salted caramel over the hot brownies, spreading it evenly. Then dollop the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel in spoonfuls. Use a knife to gently swirl the brownie batter into the caramel for a marbled effect.

              Final Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still fudgy. Be careful not to overbake!

                Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and sprinkle with additional sea salt flakes. Drizzle with chocolate ganache if desired.

                  Enjoy!: Serve these irresistible Super Chewy Salted Caramel Brownies at your next gathering, and watch them disappear!
