Gather Your Ingredients
- 1 pound unsalted organic butter
- 8 oz high-quality unsweetened chocolate
- Two 12-ounce bags high-quality semisweet chocolate chips
- 7 large organic eggs
- 3 T instant espresso powder
- 2 T real vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
- 1 T baking powder
- 1 t salt
- 10 oz high-quality caramel (vanilla flavored recommended)
Prepare for Baking
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12×17-inch jelly roll pan with butter. For a richer flavor, dust the pan with loose cocoa powder instead of flour.
Melt the Chocolate
Melt the butter, unsweetened chocolate, and one bag of semisweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or by boiling water in a saucepan and placing a glass or metal bowl on top. Cool slightly before proceeding.
Combine the Mixtures
Stir together eggs, espresso, vanilla, and sugar. Add the warm chocolate mixture and cool to room temperature. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this mixture to the cooled chocolate mixture.
Add the Finishing Touches
Toss the remaining chocolate chips with the remaining 1/4 cup of flour and add to the batter. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth out. Warm the caramel in the microwave for 20-30 seconds and pour evenly over the brownie mixture. Use a knife to create a swirl pattern by cutting vertically and horizontally through the entire pan.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Avoid overbaking! Let the brownies cool thoroughly before serving. You can refrigerate them if desired, but wrapping with plastic wrap is sufficient.
