Description
Delightful layers of chocolatey goodness and creamy frosting topped with festive sprinkles, perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup frosting (cream cheese or buttercream)
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Optionally, line with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in granulated and brown sugars until combined.
- Incorporate eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the chocolate mixture until just combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared dish and bake for about 15 minutes until edges are set.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the brownie layer and spread remaining batter on top, swirling for a marbled effect.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- While cooling, prepare your frosting.
- Once cooled, frost generously and top with sprinkles.
- Slice and serve at room temperature or refrigerate for a firmer texture.
Notes
Let the brownies cool completely for clean cuts and to prevent melting the frosting.
