How to Make Caramel Macchiato Brownies Southern Living

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving 2-3 inches of overhang on all sides for easy removal.
  3. Lightly grease the foil-lined pan.
  4. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces (340g) semi-sweet chocolate squares and 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Whisk in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1/2 cup (100g) packed brown sugar until well combined.
  6. Add 3 large eggs one at a time, whisking until just incorporated after each addition.
  7. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  8. Stir in 1 cup (70g) mini marshmallows, 1 cup (140g) caramel bits (from approximately 12 caramels, quartered – use cooking spray on your knife to prevent sticking), and 1-2 teaspoons instant espresso powder (adjust to your preferred coffee intensity).
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  12. Lift the brownies from the pan using the foil overhang as handles.
  13. Carefully peel away the foil and cut into 16 squares.
