Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, melt the unsalted butter and cocoa powder together using a microwave or double boiler method. Stir until smooth.
Stir in granulated sugar and brown sugar until fully combined. Let the mixture cool for 1-2 minutes.
Whisk in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
Prepare the caramel sauce by melting sugar, butter, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan, drizzle with half of the caramel sauce, and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached. Let the brownies cool completely.
Once cooled, cut into squares and drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor.

Make the caramel sauce ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

If you want a thicker caramel, cook the caramel for an additional minute until it thickens.

Add chopped nuts to the brownie batter for extra texture.
