Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa powder, and salt together.
Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan, drizzle with caramel sauce, then add remaining batter on top and swirl gently.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts and best texture.
Notes
Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies fudgy.
Let brownies cool fully before cutting for neat squares.
