How to Make Salted Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before adding the topping.
  8. To make the caramel topping, melt ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  9. Stir in ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons milk. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  11. Spread the caramel evenly over the cooled brownies.
  12. To make the chocolate drizzle, melt 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons milk in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  13. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel layer.
  14. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
  15. Let stand at least 20 minutes to allow the caramel and chocolate to set before cutting into 20 squares.
