Ingredients

For the salted caramel

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water

For the brownies

• 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (2 1/2 sticks)
• 1 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for garnish)

To make the salted caramel

1. In a small pot, gently heat the cream, butter, and salt until the butter has melted and the salt has completely dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
3. In a larger pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water.
4. Heat over a medium high flame, swirling the pot occasionally to distribute the heat evenly.
5. Continue to boil the sugar mixture until the bubbles begin to get smaller and it becomes amber-colored.
6. Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the warm cream mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps or crystals.
7. Immediately transfer the hot mixture to a heat-safe vessel and cool completely.

To make the brownies

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F, and mist a 9 by 13-inch pan with non-stick spray. Line with parchment.
2. Place the sugar, butter, and cocoa in a large microwave-safe bowl, and microwave* in one-minute increments, stirring, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture feels very warm to the touch.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, stirring after each addition.
4. Stir in the vanilla.
5. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
6. Transfer half the batter to the pan, then drizzle with about 1/3 of the salted caramel.
7. Top with remaining brownie batter, and swirl about 1/3 of the salted caramel mixture on top.
8. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until set around the edges but still soft towards the middle.
9. Cool completely in the pan, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares.
10. Drizzle with remaining caramel and garnish with sea salt.
