Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 1 cup pretzels, crushed

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and stir until well combined.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
6. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the brownie batter, creating a swirl pattern. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the caramel into the batter.
7. Sprinkle the crushed pretzels evenly over the top of the brownie batter, pressing them slightly into the batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
10. Once cooled, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper as handles. Cut into squares and serve.
