Description

Decadent Caramel Chocolate Chunk Brownies with gooey chocolate chunks and luscious caramel swirls, finished with a sprinkle of sea salt for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. These rich, fudgy brownies are easy to make and ideal for chocolate lovers looking for a comforting dessert.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chunks

Caramel Layer

  • 1 cup caramel sauce

Topping

  • Sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Stir in the eggs one at a time along with vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the batter is uniform.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps, then gently fold them into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chunks: Incorporate the chocolate chunks evenly into the batter, ensuring delicious pockets of melted chocolate throughout.
  6. Layer Batter and Caramel: Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Drizzle the caramel sauce over this layer to infuse a sweet, sticky caramel flavor.
  7. Top with Remaining Batter: Spoon and spread the remaining batter over the caramel layer, smoothing the top with a spatula for even baking.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check doneness when edges look set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Add Sea Salt: Optional — sprinkle sea salt flakes over the warm brownies to create a delicious contrast to the sweet caramel and chocolate.
  10. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares for clean edges and best texture.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate chunks for best taste.
  • If you prefer a more intense caramel flavor, swirl some caramel into the brownie batter itself.
  • Chilling the batter briefly before baking can help create a fudgier texture.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
