Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for caramel sauce)

How to Make Chocolate Brownies with Caramel Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. While the brownies are baking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.
8. Once the sugar is melted, carefully add the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of butter, stirring until smooth. If desired, stir in sea salt for added flavor. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
9. Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the brownies.
10. Cut into squares and enjoy your decadent chocolate brownies!

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure not to overmix the brownie batter to keep them fudgy.
• Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
• Allow the caramel sauce to cool slightly before drizzling to prevent it from soaking into the brownies.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Swirl in some peanut butter or Nutella for a different flavor profile.
• Top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream.
• Fresh berries for a tart contrast.
• A dollop of whipped cream or crème fraîche.
• A cup of coffee or espresso to complement the chocolate.
