Step 1

Prep an 8×8 pan. For easy removal of the brownies, place parchment paper on the bottom and 2 sides of the pan. Grease the sides and then set side. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a microwave or on the stove using the double boiler method until smooth and combined. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Pour the butter/chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.

Step 6

Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.

Step 7

Drizzle dollops of the caramel on top of the pretzels. Make sure to save a few tablespoons for the next layer.

Step 8

Pour the rest of the brownie batter on top and spread evenly.

Step 9

Dollop the top with the rest of the caramel and swirl it as best as possible into the batter using a knife or toothpick.

Step 10

Press the rest of the pretzels on top. Bake for 30-32 minutes. You'll know it's ready when a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out covered in clear caramel and a few moist chocolate crumbs. If the batter comes out wet, allow to bake for a few more minutes.

Step 11

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. As they cool, the caramel and chocolate gooeyness sets. If you slice while they're warm, they'll fall apart.

Step 12

Tip: Slice the brownies with a serrated knife. This helps get through the top layer of the pretzels. Enjoy!
