Description

Soft, pillowy chocolate brownies topped with a decadent caramel icing and sea salt.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE BROWNIES:
  • ¾ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¾ cups Unsweetened Cocoa
  • ½ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • ¼ cups Butter
  • ¼ cups Packed Brown Sugar
  • 3-½ Tablespoons Evaporated Fat-free Milk, Divided
  • ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • ¼ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ⅛ teaspoons Coarse Sea Salt

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Prepare brownies: Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, brown sugar, and baking powder in a large bowl, stirring well with a whisk. In a separate bowl, combine butter, eggs, and vanilla. Add butter mixture to flour mixture. Stir to combine. Scrape batter into a greased 9-inch square baking pan and bake at 350ºF for 19 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Cool on a wire rack or in the fridge.
3. Prepare topping: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons milk; cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla and powdered sugar; stir with a whisk until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over cooled brownies. Let stand until set.
4. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons milk and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high for 45 seconds until melted with a silky consistency. Add to a Ziploc bag (carefully) and cut a small hole in one corner. Pipe out chocolate in your preferred design. Sprinkle sea salt over chocolate.

I think adding pretzels to the top of this would be REALLY delicious as well :)
