Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (about 240g) salted caramel sauce (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being gentle to avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Dollop half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter in small spoonfuls.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter and caramel. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the caramel into the batter to create marbled patterns.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check at 30 minutes by inserting a toothpick near the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from oven and let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares with a sharp knife.

Notes

If caramel sauce is very thick, warm slightly before swirling for easier mixing. Do not overmix batter to keep brownies fudgy. Use room temperature eggs for best texture. Let brownies cool completely before cutting for clean slices and caramel to set. Lining the pan with parchment paper makes removal and cleanup easier.
