How to Make Barefoot Contessa's Salted Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped chocolate chips.
  7. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and granulated sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and sea salt until smooth.
  9. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Dollop spoonfuls of the caramel sauce over the batter and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
  10. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel and swirl again.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  12. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving.
