Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Sea salt, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in both granulated sugar and brown sugar until combined.

      Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Let the mixture cool slightly, then add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

          Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter.

            Create the Caramel Swirl: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then use a knife or spatula to swirl it slightly. Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and repeat the process with the remaining caramel sauce.

              Bake the Brownies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

                Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, cut into squares.

                  Garnish: If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of the brownies for an extra flavor dimension.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Serve these scrumptious caramel swirl brownies warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the rich blend of chocolate and caramel!
