Ingredients

For the brownies:

  • 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Salted butter 1 stick
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large egg
  • 1 Large egg yolk
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

For the topping:

  • 13.4 ounce Can dulce de leche
  • Pinch Flaky salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place butter and chocolate chips in a medium size, microwaveable mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted.
  • Beat in sugar, then vanilla and eggs, until well combined.
  • Stir in flour until just combined.
  • Pour into a well greased or parchment lined 8x8″ pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • Once brownies have cooled, place the dulce de leche in a microwave safe bowl and microwave about 15-20 seconds, just enough to make the dulce de leche spreadable. Spread over brownies, sprinkle with salt, cut and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Cool completely before topping with caramel.
  • Warm dulce de leche slightly before spreading.
  • Sprinkle salt just before serving.
  • For thicker brownies, use a smaller pan.
  • Don’t overmix once flour is added.
  • Store covered at room temp up to 3 days.
  • Refrigerate for longer storage or firmer texture, up to 5 days.
  • Freeze up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
  • Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for best flavor.
  • Line pan with parchment for easy removal.
