Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (dark preferred)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (high-quality)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups pretzels (regular or chocolate-covered)
- 3/4 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the melted butter with granulated and brown sugars until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—do not overmix.
- Spread half of the brownie batter in the prepared pan. Evenly layer pretzels over the batter and drizzle generously with caramel sauce.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter on top, spreading carefully to cover without disturbing the layers beneath.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out slightly sticky but not wet for gooey perfection.
