Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the sugar until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla extract together. Slowly add the egg mixture to the saucepan with the butter and sugar, stirring constantly.
  4. Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and salt into the saucepan. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter.
  5. Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts to the batter, mixing them in thoroughly.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  7. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter in the baking dish, creating a thin layer.
  8. Pour the remaining batter over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly to cover.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely before cutting into squares.
  11. Serve and enjoy these wickedly delicious brownies!
