Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in both sugars.
- Add eggs and vanilla, whisking vigorously until glossy.
- Sift in cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth.
- Spread half of the batter into your prepared pan.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it.
- Add remaining batter on top and smooth the surface.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt while warm. Let cool completely before cutting.

Notes
- Room-temp caramel swirls more easily than cold caramel.
- For clean cuts, chill the brownies and wipe the knife between slices.
- Don’t overbake! Slightly underdone brownies give you that fudgy center.
