Ingredients
Scale

- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped pretzels
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped pretzels.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Drizzle the caramel sauce over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the caramel into the batter.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For an extra gooey brownie, reduce baking time slightly.
- Ensure your caramel sauce is thick enough to swirl without completely sinking.
- You can use any type of chocolate chips you prefer.
