Equipment

Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all purpose flour
¾ cup chopped chocolate candies plus more for garnish
¼ cup caramel sauce
vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Add butter to a medium saucepan and cook over medium high heat until melted.
Add granulated sugar and cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk to combine. Remove saucepan from heat.
Add sea salt, vanilla extract, and eggs to the saucepan and whisk to combine.
Fold in baking powder and flour with a silicone spatula. Add in chocolate candies and mix just until incorporated.
Transfer to a greased 12 inch cast iron skillet and evenly spread the batter. Drizzle caramel on top, and drag a knife through the caramel to spread the caramel throughout the brownie batter.
Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the brownie comes out clean. Once the brownie is removed from the oven, place additional chocolate candies on top for garnish. Allow the brownie to cool for 1 - 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Serve with a drizzle of caramel and ice cream.

Notes

Store any leftover brownies covered in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
