salted caramel brownies

To say I am excited to share these with you is an understatement. 

I love brownies and have loved them for awhile.
Like many, I grew up making them out of a Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines box.
Sometimes, I would add in chocolate chips or nuts to make them fun.
A few years ago, I made my first batch of homemade brownies and they were amazing.
I've been hooked ever since and try out various brownie recipes from time to time.
Now as I said in the last post, salted caramel is amazing so brownies with salted caramel would have to be absolutely outstanding!
And they are.
I found this recipe on a few sites including Baked Bree and Brown Eyed Baker and knew I had to try them.

So let's go!

You will need:

1 1/4 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

11 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate

2 sticks of butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

5 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 tablespoon Kahlua

sea salt and sugar for sprinkling 

salted caramel

In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and cocoa powder. 

Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler on the stove or in the microwave.

Stir the chocolate until smooth then add both sugars. 

 Whisk in the eggs.

Then add the Kahlua and vanilla.

Slowly stir in flour mixture.

Line  a 9x13 pan with parchment paper or foil and pour in half the batter, then cover with a few dollops of salted caramel.

Cover with remaining batter.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Sprinkle sea salt and sugar on top once the brownies come out.

Cool completely and enjoy!
