Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz (225g) milk chocolate, chopped or chips
  • 1 1/4 cups (250g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp (60g) unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Melt the butter and milk chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, use a microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Set aside to cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture, then slowly pour in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture. Stir gently until combined.
  5. Sift the flour and salt over the wet ingredients, then fold with a spatula just until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  6. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter, heavy cream, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Let it boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. It should be thick and glossy.
  7. Pour half the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Drizzle half the caramel sauce over the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the caramel into the batter to create gooey swirls.
  9. Repeat layering with remaining batter and caramel, swirling again for a marbled effect.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly soft but not jiggly. Insert a toothpick in the center; a few moist crumbs are perfect.
  11. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better batter consistency. Melt chocolate and butter slowly to avoid burning. Swirl caramel gently to maintain distinct pockets. Avoid overbaking to keep gooey texture. Cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. For dairy-free version, substitute butter and cream with coconut oil and coconut milk.
