Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 200 grams (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 115 grams (1/2 cup) unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 65 grams (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
- 45 grams (1/2 cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 20 soft caramel candies (unwrapped)
- 45 ml (3 tbsps) heavy cream
- Sea salt (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
- Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
- Whisk sugar into the chocolate mixture until well incorporated and slightly glossy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a silky batter.
- Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Carefully spoon batter into prepared mini muffin cavities, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- While brownies cool, prepare caramel sauce by heating sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan until it turns amber.
- Slowly add cream and butter to the caramel, stirring constantly to create a smooth sauce.
- Once brownies are completely cool, use a small spoon to create a small indent in the center of each bite.
- Drizzle warm caramel sauce into the indentations, allowing it to slightly pool on top.
- Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each caramel-filled brownie bite for a gourmet finishing touch.
- Let caramel set for 10 minutes before serving at room temperature.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for smoother batter integration and more even baking.
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly over low heat to prevent burning and ensure silky texture.
- Line mini muffin tin with parchment paper or grease thoroughly to prevent sticking and easy removal.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top just before serving to enhance caramel’s deep, rich flavor and create delightful sweet-salty contrast.
