📝 Preparation Steps
1
Brownies:
2
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 square pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving a couple inches of overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the foil/parchment. Unwrap the 8oz of caramels needed for the brownies and place them in a microwave safe bowl along with 2½ tablespoons cream/half and half. Set aside.
3
Combine granulated sugar and hot butter in a large bowl. Stir it briefly then allow it to sit undisturbed for ⏱️ 5 minutes. The heat from the butter will begin to dissolve the sugar (this helps make a shiny/crackly crust), the sugar will not fully dissolve. After ⏱️ 5 minutes, whisk the butter and sugar vigorously for ⏱️ 30 seconds. Add eggs, water, and vanilla extract, whisking again for about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Tap all the excess batter off the whisk and remove the whisk from the bowl.

4
Sprinkle cocoa powder, powdered sugar, flour, salt, and chocolate chips over the wet ingredients. Use a rubber/silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir the mixture until it is glossy and well combined.
5
Scoop half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
6
Place the bowl of caramels and cream in the microwave and cook in ⏱️ 20-30 second increments, stirring occasionally, until the caramels are melted and completely smooth. Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the brownie batter in the pan.
7
Add the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel. I pour/drop spoonfuls of batter all around the pan, then carefully press/spread it into an even layer. Make sure all the caramel is covered and try not mix the caramel and brownie batter (this will ensure distinct layers).
8
Bake for ⏱️ 28-33 minutes, until the brownies are dry on top, no longer jiggly, and the very center is still a tiny bit underdone. Be careful not to over bake. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool for ⏱️ 30 minutes before proceeding with the topping.

Topping:
10
Microwave caramels and cream until melted and smooth. After the brownies have cooled for ⏱️ 30 minutes, drizzle the topping over the whole pan of brownies, then immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Allow the brownies to finish cooling completely in the pan on the cooling rack.
