The addition of salted caramel elevates the classic brownie recipe to a new level of indulgence.

They’re easy to make and can be prepared in just under an hour, so you can enjoy homemade goodness without spending all day in the kitchen.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. This will help guarantee that the brownies come out perfectly without sticking.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle half of the salted caramel sauce over the batter, then use a knife to swirl it gently into the batter. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat the swirling process with the rest of the caramel.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking, as you want your brownies to remain fudgy.
- Once done, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle sea salt flakes over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing them into squares.
Extra Tips:
For an even richer flavor, consider adding chocolate chips to the brownie batter before baking. If you prefer a thicker caramel swirl, you can make your own salted caramel sauce by heating sugar until it melts, then adding heavy cream and a pinch of salt. Store-bought caramel sauce works perfectly, but homemade can add a special touch.
Enjoy your Salted Caramel Swirl Brownies as a delightful dessert on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
