Salted Caramel Fudgy Brownies


This month for Secret Recipe Club, I was assigned The Avid Appetite, a fun blog full of lots of great recipes. It was hard to choose, but I decided on these amazing looking brownies as I've been on a bit of a caramel kick lately.

These turned out great! I changed up the recipe just slightly, because I didn't have enough cocoa powder, so I also used unsweetened chocolate. The brownies were delicious and the caramel put them over the top! I love adding a new brownie recipe to my arsenal. Thanks, Rachel!

Start by combining the flour, sugar, cocoa powder,


brown sugar and baking powder in a small mixing bowl, stirring to incorporate. In another large heat proof bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together on 50% power in the microwave. Cook for 30-45 second intervals until smooth,


stirring between heatings. Add the eggs


and vanilla to the butter/chocolate mixture and stir well. Add the flour mixture,


stirring until just combined. Spread in a foil-lined 11x7 pan.


Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely in pan.

For the caramel topping, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar


and evaporated milk


and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla


and powdered sugar


until smooth. Pour over the brownies.


Sprinkle with kosher salt.


Let set, then cut into squares.
