Step 1

For the salted caramel, melt the sugar in a medium pot over medium heat. Swirl the pan without stirring for 8 to 10 minutes, until the caramel has turned a dark amber color

Step 2

In a separate pot, bring the cream to a boil, then immediately remote it from the heat and set aside

Step 3

Remove the caramel from the heat and carefully add the salt and half the cream (Take care as the mixture will spit). Once the mixture has settled, add the remaining cream and the butter, and stir together. Return the pan to the heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until thick and smooth.

Step 4

Pour the salted caramel into a bowl. Let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, until firm but spoonable. When the caramel is almost ready, start the brownies. Heat the oven to 350F.

Step 5

Melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally for 4 to 5 minutes, until smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

Step 6

Using an electric hand mixer, in a large bowl whisk together the eggs and both sugars until thick and pale. Whisk the cooled chocolate mixture and the vanilla into the egg mixture, then sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold together until well mixed.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and level with the back of a spoon. Spoon the caramel onto the brownie mixture and sprinkle with a little sea salt.

Step 8

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out sticky, but not wet. Allow to cool in the pan completely, then remove from the pan and use a hot knife to cut it into squares.
