Ooey Gooey Chocolate Caramel Brownies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Brownies
1 cup butter, cubed
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping
1 cup whipped cream
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400F (200C).
Take two saucepans of roughly equal size. Fill the smaller one about halfway with water. Put the other one on top. Put them on a burner and turn it to just below boiling. You could also use a double boiler.
Melt butter and chocolate together in the saucepan, and remove saucepans from heat. Dump out the water from the bottom one and dry it out.
Stir the granulated sugar into the chocolate mixture until it's mixed nicely. Slowly add the eggs and the vanilla. Next, stir in the flour and salt.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch cake pan and bake for 12 minutes. (The batter won't be cooked through).
Meanwhile, in the bottom saucepan, boil the cream, brown sugar, and butter for 3 minutes.
Drizzle the brownies with the sugar mixture. Do this slowly or it'll go through the surface of the brownie.
Bake the brownies for another 8-10 minutes. They should be golden, not browned.
Sprinkle the brownies with the mini chocolate chips (if using,) give them a moment to melt, and then swirl them with the knife.
Enjoy!
