Salty Caramel Brownies are a great way to spice up your next brownie recipe.
INGREDIENTS
– 6 ounces (1 cup) bittersweet chocolate– 1/2 cup unsalted butter– 1/2 cup granulated sugar– 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar– 2 large egg– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract– 1 cup all-purpose flour– 1/2 teaspoon salt– about 1/4 cup store-bought salted caramel sauce
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Parchment paper should overflow two edges of an 8-inch square baking pan by a few inches. (Alternatively, spray the pan with cooking spray.)
Step 2
Put chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. In 30-second increments, microwave at half power until butter and chocolate melt when mixed. Stir smooth. Let cool slightly.
Step 3
Blend sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat in chocolate-butter mixture until smooth. Mix in flour and salt until mixed. Spread little more than half the batter in the pan.
Step 4
Spread salted caramel over the batter, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the borders and covering as much as possible. Drop remaining batter by teaspoonfuls over caramel.
Step 5
Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a pick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Run a knife along the pan's non-lined sides. Pan-cool on wire rack.
Step 6
Remove the cooled brownies from the pan to a cutting board using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut bars with a sharp knife.
