Ingredients

Caramel Layer:

  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tbsp salted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 3 large marshmallows

Brownie

  • 3/4 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • flake salt, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, salted butter, brown sugar and corn syrup. Heat while stirring constantly until the mixture reaches 225°F. or until it hits the softball stage.
  • Remove from heat and then stir in the 3 large marshmallows. Set aside until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla until combined.
  • Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt until just combined.
  • Spread 2/3 of the brownie batter onto the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Pour and spread the caramel onto the brownie batter in the pan.
  • Dollop the remaining brownie batter on top of the caramel and then use a toothpick to swirl the brownie batter into the caramel.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30-35 min or until the brownies are set. Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting. Cut with a plastic knife and enjoy!
  • Best stored in the fridge because it will help the caramel stay where it should once the brownies have been cut.
