Description
Deliciously rich and festive salted caramel brownies perfect for Christmas celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 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
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Allow to cool slightly.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread it out. Drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce over the top and swirl it gently into the batter with a knife.
- Sprinkle the sea salt evenly over the top of the brownies.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a festive touch, add crushed peppermint candies on top before baking.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
