Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Base
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter For rich brownie flavor
  • 8 oz Semi sweet chocolate Chips or chopped bar chocolate
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar Adds chew and deeper flavor
  • 3 large Eggs Room temperature ideally
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
For the Swirl
  • 1/2 cup Dulce de leche Store bought is fine
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Chopped nuts For added crunch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth, stirring continually.
  3. Stir in granulated and brown sugars until combined, then add eggs one at a time followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt gently until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Pour most of the batter into the prepared pan, then dollop dulce de leche over the top and swirl gently.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 25-32 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
  2. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes, then lift out to cool fully before slicing.

Notes

Do not overbake. Brownies will continue to cook slightly as they cool. Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean slices. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes for cleaner cuts if needed.
