Salted Caramel Brownies

Super fudgy brownies with pockets of delicious salted caramel!

Brownies are probably one of my favourite desserts, and you already know about my love of salted caramel (here, here and here!). I love brownies because I can whip them up in one bowl. Fast easy and impressive… totally my jam! Now of course salted caramel is a wee bit more involved than a one bowl brownie, but I promise it is worth it! For this recipe we will be using my favourite Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce! It’s straightforward, delicious and there might be leftovers for your ice cream.

Before we get into this mouth watering recipe I have a few tips.

1. Freeze your caramel, this helps prevent over spreading when the brownies bake
2. Don’t over bake, I life a gooey brownie so stick to the cook time below
3. If cutting them is a challenge pot them in the fridge
4. Sprinkle with sea salt at the end

These are seriously delicious and I defiantly need to make another batch very soon!

Salted Caramel Brownies

Yields: 9-12 brownies (I recommend cutting these small since they are super rich!)

Ingredients:

• Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce (we will use 2/3 of the recipe in the brownies the rest can be saved for another use – ps. it freezes great!)
• 4 oz Unsweetened Chocolate
• 1/2 cup Butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Tsp Vanilla
• 1 cup All Purpose Flour
• Pinch of Salt
• 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
• Optional: Flaked Seas Salt for finishing

Directions:

Make my Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce recipe. Pour 2/3 of the recipe into a square baking dish lined with parchment paper. Place in your freezer. Store the rest in an air tight container in your fridge or freezer.

Preheat the over to 350°F. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, spray with baking spray. Set aside.

In a large microwave safe bowl place butter and chocolate. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stir in between until the chocolate and butter have just melted. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Stir well until smooth and combined. Add flour, fold into batter until combined. Once combined stir in chocolate chips.

Pour brownie batter into prepared baking sheet. Remove caramel from the freezer. Break or cut into small squares. Place the caramels on to the brownie batter. Space evenly and press slightly into batter.

Bake the brownies for 20-30 minutes until set. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt if desired. Cool before serving. Enjoy!
