Salted Caramel Drizzle Brownies

DISCLAIMER: THIS PAGE MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.

These Salted Caramel Drizzle Brownies are fudgy, rich and packed full of chocolate chunks. That’s before we get to the part where we remove them from the oven and drizzle with lashings of salted caramel sauce. The caramel pairs perfectly with the chocolate (of course), resulting in a truly lovely thing.

This is a terrific bake to make when you want something easy and pretty quick, that brings big chocolate flavour. It is a great one when you have friends coming over, makes a great dessert when warm, or wonderful as a competitor in your next office bake off. These will keep in an airtight container for about 3 days. If re-heating, take real care because the caramel is high sugar and will get hot/burn quickly!

The brownies themselves are super simple, dense and fudgy. The batter gets packed with chocolate chunks and minimal flour to keep them really fudgy. After baking and cooling, drizzle with some caramel for a truly fabulous bake! For neat slices, cut with a hot knife.

For these brownies, we rely heavily on the melted butter and light brown sugar to give the fudgy texture and super shiny topping. You could make these for a bake sale – and the recipe is easily doubled. They keep well in an airtight container for a few days. That said, they don’t last long if you’ve got lots of happy hungry mouths in the house!

TIPS FOR THE BEST Salted Caramel Drizzle Brownies

• Brown Sugar: This is crucial to the perfect fudgy texture and deep flavour. You could use dark brown soft if you’re really in a pinch. Light brown is definitely your best friend in brownies.
• Melted Butter: This is what gives brownies that oh so Instagrammable shiny, crisp top. Don’t skip this step!
• Cocoa Powder: As this is a key component, I do recommend a decent quality cocoa powder – but don’t stress if you don’t have any!
• Caramel: You can make your own, or do what I do to keep this recipe really simple. Simply buy a jar/tin – either in the baking aisle or around the jars of Nutella and similar!

For these Salted Caramel Drizzle Brownies, I use a basic 8′ square pan (I like this one). I also recommend a good stand mixer or high speed mixer (like this one) to make the brownie mixture.
