Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Brownie Layer:

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 cup soft caramel candies (like Kraft or Werther’s), unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)

 



Instructions

Make the Brownie Layer:

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
  4. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool completely.

Make the Caramel Layer:

  1. Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Pour Over Brownies: Spread caramel evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until set.

Make the Ganache:

  1. Melt Chocolate & Cream: Heat heavy cream in a microwave until warm (not boiling), then pour over chocolate chips. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth.
  2. Top the Brownies: Spread the ganache over the caramel layer and smooth the top. Chill for 30 minutes until firm.

Slice & Serve:

  1. Cut into Squares: Use a sharp knife to slice into 9 or 16 pieces. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or flaky sea salt on top.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
  • Want it even richer? Use dark chocolate chips for the ganache!
