Ingredients

Your favorite brownie recipe (scaled for an 8x8 inch pan)- you will need to make this twice

14 oz bag of vanilla caramels (the soft, chewy caramels)

1/3 cup heavy cream

3/4 tsp sea salt (for caramel filling)

1/2 tsp sea salt (for top brownie layer)

Directions

1.  Line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with enough foil to come up on the sides.

2.  Make one batch of brownies (enough to fill a 8x8 inch pan).  Pour into the foil-lined baking dish and bake as per the recipe you are following. This will be the bottom brownie layer.

3.  Let the brownies cool (15-20 mins).  While they are cooling, make the salted caramel filling by mixing the caramel and heavy cream in a bowl over a double boiler.  Stir until the caramels melt and the filling becomes smooth.  Then, mix in 3/4 tsp of sea salt.

4.  Pour the salted caramel filling  over the cooled brownies.  

5.  Make the second batch of brownies (enough to fill a 8x8 inch pan).  Gently spoon this mix over the salted caramel, making sure you cover all of the exposed salted caramel.  Sprinkle 1/2 tsp of sea salt (or flake salt) on top.  Bake as per the recipe you are following. This will be the top brownie layer.

6.  Cool the brownies in the tray before cutting.  Once it is cool, cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.  Then, remove the brownies by pulling the foil out.  Cut them into pieces and serve at room temperature.  Store in an airtight container.
