Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Stir in both granulated and brown sugars until smooth.
  3. Add in 4 eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until glossy and slightly warm.
  4. Sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Fold into the wet mixture gently.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and center remains slightly soft.
  6. In a clean saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of granulated sugar until it turns amber. Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 4 tablespoons butter cautiously.
  7. Whisk in 1 teaspoon of sea salt to the caramel and set aside to cool slightly.
  8. Once brownies are cooled, drizzle the salted caramel generously over them and spread evenly.
  9. Allow caramel to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
