Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup caramel candies (about 20-25 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second increments until completely melted. Stir in the granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until the brownie batter is well combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream or milk. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie layer in the pan.
- Drop spoonfuls of the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel layer and gently swirl the two layers together with a knife or a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Place them on a cutting board and cut into squares or rectangles.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious caramel brownies.
