Ingredients
For the Brownie Base
- 1 cup butter (unsalted) Adds richness and moisture; use unsalted to control salt level.
- 2 cups sugar (granulated) Gives brownies their melt-in-your-mouth quality.
- 4 large eggs Helps bind everything and adds structure.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances sweet flavors.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Essential for creating fudgy texture.
- 1 cup cocoa powder Use high-quality cocoa for better taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
For the Toppings
- 2 cups cornflakes Adds crunch and nostalgia.
- 1 cup caramel sauce Store-bought or homemade.
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional for added chocolate flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.
- Melt the butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar until well combined and let it cool for a minute.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until thick and chocolatey.
- Fold in the cornflakes and chocolate chips, if using.
Baking
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Drizzle caramel sauce on top and gently swirl it into the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
- Once baked, allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
Notes
For the best results, use room temperature ingredients and quality cocoa powder. Avoid overmixing and check for doneness closely.
