Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 2 unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 2 all-purpose flour
  • 1 4 cocoa powder
  • 1 4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 2 caramel sauce
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking continuously to incorporate.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of brownie batter into each muffin cup.
  7. Using a small spoon or squeeze bottle, add a teaspoon of caramel sauce on top of each brownie batter portion.
  8. Top each caramel-filled brownie with another tablespoon of brownie batter, covering the caramel completely.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Allow the brownie bites to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Just before serving, drizzle with additional caramel sauce and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for that delicious contrast.
