BROWNIES

1/2 cup (113g) butter melted then cooled

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

1/3 cup (40g) cocoa powder sifted

1/2 cup (64g) all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder


CARAMEL SAUCE

14 ounces (1 bag) individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped, divided

1/4 cup butter

1 tablespoon milk


TOPPINGS

1 cup crushed pretzels

3/4 cup chocolate chips

1/3 cup toffee bits

1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions


BROWNIE

Preheat oven to 350°F.



Melt butter and set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, beat two eggs with the vanilla.

In a medium bowl, add in all dry ingredients. Add in the egg mixture and gently stir into the dry ingredients.



Pour the melted butter into brownie mixture and mix until the butter is no longer separated and the mix is fully combined.



Spread batter in a prepared 8-inch square pan, top with 9 of the caramels in three rows. You can cut them in half if you want to spread them out more.

Bake for 25-30 minutes.



CARAMEL SAUCE

Melt remaining caramels, butter, and milk together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave).

Pour caramel mixture over warm brownies and top with sea salt (do not use table salt).



TOPPINGS

Sprinkle the crushed pretzels, chocolate chips, and toffee bits over top. The chocolate chips should melt a bit, but if they don't pop back into the oven for a few minutes.



Cool a bit before cutting into squares. (Or eat them hot, I love an ooey gooey brownie!)
