Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups crushed pretzels
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- Sea salt for topping
Instructions
Now, let’s get into the good part – making these scrumptious brownies!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the sugar until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Spread half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 15 minutes.
- While the brownie layer is baking, mix the crushed pretzels with the caramel sauce in a bowl.
- After the first layer is baked, pour the pretzel-caramel mixture over the brownies evenly.
- Spoon the remaining brownie batter over the caramel-pretzel layer, trying to cover it as much as possible.
- Bake for another 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let it cool completely, then sprinkle with sea salt before slicing into squares and serving!
