Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for caramel sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips together over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method). Stir until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1.25 cups granulated sugar, 0.5 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Step 4

Add 3 large eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until evenly combined.

Step 6

Sift together 0.75 cup all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup cocoa powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl.

Step 7

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9 pan and spread evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 10

While the brownies bake, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Step 11

Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring and cook until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning.

Step 12

Reduce the heat to low and carefully whisk in 0.5 cup heavy cream, 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. The mixture will bubble intensely, so be cautious.

Step 13

Remove the caramel sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 14

Once the brownies are done, allow them to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Step 15

Drizzle the warm caramel sauce over the brownie slices just before serving. Enjoy!
