Salted Caramel Brownies – A Decadent, Sweet, and Salty Delight

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Melt the Butter:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar until well combined.

Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Let the sugar and butter mixture cool slightly. Once cooled, whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until smooth and fully combined.

Bake the Brownies:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake; the brownies should be fudgy.

Add the Caramel Sauce:
Once the brownies have cooled slightly, drizzle the salted caramel sauce over the top. Use a spatula or knife to spread it evenly.

Sprinkle with Sea Salt:
Immediately sprinkle coarse sea salt over the caramel topping for that perfect sweet-and-salty finish.

Cool and Slice:
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them into 16 squares.

Serve and Enjoy:
Serve these indulgent brownies on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
