Ingredients
  

For the Brownies:

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon instant espresso powder

For the Salted Caramel Sauce:

1 cup granulated sugar

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

½ cup heavy cream

½ teaspoon sea salt

For Topping:

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Extra sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.

    Make the Brownie Batter: In a medium saucepan, melt the ½ cup of butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined. Allow it to cool slightly before whisking in the eggs and vanilla extract.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and instant espresso powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

        Bake the Brownies: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes until it's set but not fully cooked through.

          Prepare the Salted Caramel Sauce: While the brownies are baking, make the salted caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the sugar until melted and golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Once it’s melted, carefully add the butter and stir until it's fully melted. Slowly drizzle in the heavy cream while stirring continuously until well combined. Remove from heat and stir in ½ teaspoon sea salt. Set aside to cool slightly.

            Assemble the Brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and pour the salted caramel sauce over the brownie layer. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading it carefully over the caramel sauce.

              Bake Again: Bake the brownies for an additional 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.

                Add Chocolate Chips: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips on top, allowing them to melt slightly. Once out of the oven, lightly sprinkle with extra sea salt.

                  Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper or simply cut them in the pan.

                    Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy your decadent salted caramel mocha fudge brownies! Perfect indulgence served warm or at room temperature.
