📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat and Grease

Preheat oven to 350F, and lightly grease a 13x9 baking pan. Set aside.

large eggs (lightly beaten, room temp)4

Whisk and Combine

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, add dry mixture to the wet mixture gradually, folding together until just combine. Do not over-mix, as little lumps remaining are fine. Fold in chocolate chips.

baking powder1 teaspoon

Transfer and Bake

Transfer brownie batter to prepared pan. Bake ⏱️ 27-30 minutes, or just until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with few crumbs attached. Do not bake until toothpick comes out totally clean, or it might be over-baked. Cool completely before cutting.

For the Salted Caramel Sauce

Melt Sugar

In a heavy saucepan, place sugar in even layer. Heat sugar over medium-high, whisking frequently. Once it starts melting, whisk continuously as it cooks, until all clumps are melted down. Turn heat down to medium, insert candy thermometer into the melted sugar, and continue stirring until melted sugar turns red-brown.

Whisk

The minute your thermometer reads 350F, add all the butter - caramel may bubble up aggressively when you do this. Whisk until completely melted. Immediately remove pan from heat, carefully pour in the cream, and whisk until a smooth sauce forms.Whisk in the flaky salt. Let sauce cool until it's manageable before transferring to a jar. Drizzle desired amount of caramel sauce over cut brownies. Save rest of sauce in fridge for future use on anything you like!
