Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter

8 oz bittersweet chocolate

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

4 large eggs

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tbsp instant espresso powder

1/4 cup brewed espresso

1/2 cup caramel sauce

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

2. In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Gradually add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly.

5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder.

6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

7. Stir in the brewed espresso and chopped walnuts (if using), mixing until evenly distributed.

8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.

9. In a small bowl, mix the caramel sauce with the heavy cream until smooth.

10. Drizzle the caramel mixture over the brownie batter, then use a knife to swirl it gently into the batter.

11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

12. Let the brownies cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
