Steps
Prep and Melt
Preheat your oven to 175°C (160°C for fan-assisted ovens). Line a 20x20 cm (8x8 inch) baking pan with parchment paper. In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave on low heat, then stir until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Sugar and Eggs
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture and mix well. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, until the mixture is glossy and thick. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
Bake and Caramel
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, then use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly. Do not overbake!
Cool and Serve
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before lifting the brownie out with the parchment paper. Cut into small bites and serve. Enjoy!
Extra Tips
► Don't overbake the brownies, or they will dry out! They are perfect when the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
► For variety, you can use peanut butter or another creamy filling instead of caramel sauce.
► Let them cool completely in the pan before cutting; this makes slicing much easier and prevents them from falling apart.
