Ultra-fudgy dark chocolate meets gooey caramel. These brownies are dense, chewy, and loaded with melted chips. One bite of the warm, buttery center and you’ll be hooked. Simple, decadent, and perfect for any chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup coconut sugar, or granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp dark cocoa powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup flour, all purpose or gluten free flour
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips, to mix in
- 1 cup caramel sauce, see note
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Add melted butter and 1 cup dark chocolate chips to a bowl. Stir until creamy and fully melted. If needed, microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add eggs and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and frothy.
- Add the melted chocolate mixture to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in dark cocoa powder, vanilla, flour and espresso powder. Stir to combine.
- Fold in extra chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour 2/3 of the batter into the lined pan. Smooth out into one even layer.
- Then, pour the caramel sauce on top. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top. Smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow brownies to cool before slicing into.
Notes
- Feel free to use homemade or store bought caramel sauce. I love my homemade caramel sauce for this recipe!
- If you are not gluten free, feel free to use all purpose flour.
- For best results, use high quality dark chocolate chips. Sugar free dark chocolate can be used, but the top of the brownies will not be quite as shiny.
- Do not over bake brownies! They are done when a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Allow brownies to cool before slicing.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
