These salted caramel brownies are my new show-off brownies that are great for potluck and game night. I can’t recommend this brownie more! They taste amazing, I mean out of the world and ultimately fudgy, absolutely dense, rich, and decadent with rich cocoa taste.

I have mentioned many times about different versions of brownies, l make on Instagram. I wasn’t sure which one to share first so I did a poll on Instagram and most of you voted for salted caramel brownies, so here’s the long-due post. You can follow me on Instagram here.

Recipe From Scratch

Usually, people use store-bought caramels (caramel toffee) for salted caramel brownies. But I thought to make it completely from scratch.

  • Firstly, because salted caramel is so easy to make and you can easily make it when brownies are cooling on the wire rack.
  • The ingredient for salted caramel sauce are so basic and easily available.
  • And what is more important is the taste. The homemade caramel sauce is not too sweet. Absolutely balanced sweetness and delicious. 

What makes these brownie better than my other brownies?

  • To attain this extra dense texture, I’m not adding baking soda.
  • I reduced an egg which gives more cake like texture and lifts the brownie.
  • Then, I added brown sugar which is more moist and has richer taste compared to white sugar.  
  • For richer taste, I replaced some flour white cocoa powder and increased fat in the recipe. So that’s what you get.
  • Another change is using slightly deep dish for extra thick brownie so you can dig that moist texture when you take a bite.

Tips to make it moist

While the recipe is simple and gives very good results.

  •  Use the right size of dish! I used 9x9 square dish. You can replace it by 8 x 10 rectangle dish. Fill the tray less than 1 inch deep so you don’t have very high brownie.
  • Do not over mix any ingredients, this can create too much air in the batter and lift the brownie.
  • Leaving an extra edges of baking paper on the sides helps you pull out brownie from the tray without any hassle.
  • I still wish to warn you from over baking. Set an alarm for 25 minutes this is important because this alarm can give you best result every single time. So make that a habit. 
  • Remember for moist brownies, we need under baked brownie. That’s the brownie is set in Center but not dry. Since the brownie will continue to cook in hot dish we want under bake brownie.
  • To check doness of your brownie: Insert a toothpick right in the centre of cake. If you see liquid on the stick. Cook for another 5 minutes. If it shows dense crumbs. Your brownie are perfectly baked. If toothpick comes out clean. Your brownie are over baked. Another tip is center will be set from top but slightly jiggly.

Tips to make Caramel Sauce

  • The most important tip is that all ingredients are measured and kept with you before you begin.Than melt sugar on high heat but reduce heat as soon as it is fully melted. Then let the sugar turn light brown and add butter. Do not let sugar turn dark brown or over cook or let it smoke. Because your sauce will turn bitter in taste and will give you burnt taste. 
  • Use salted butter and also add extra salt for salted taste.

Ingredients:

Brown Sugar: You can switch brown sugar with white sugar with little compromise in taste. So you use 2 cup wire sugar instead of brown. 

Bittersweet chocolate: I used dark chocolate compound for these brownies and they taste amazing. Try to use good quality chocolate for the best taste. I used unsalted butter but you can use salted butter too. Skip the added salt in the brownie batter. 

How to store?

  • You can store these brownie room temperature for 2 days. Or keep it in fridge for 5-7 days. 
  • You can also freeze these brownies. Thaw them completely and heat lightly in microwave before serving. If freezing, best way would be to freeze brownie without caramel sauce. Store caramel sauce in fridge. It’ll be good for up to 20 days. Pour warm caramel sauce on warm brownies and serve.
