Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks, 227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (packed, 100g) brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) salted caramel sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until smooth. Let it cool slightly so it’s warm but not hot.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and glossy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and Baileys Irish Cream until the batter is rich and smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick and fudgy with no visible flour streaks.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Spoon dollops of about 1/4 cup salted caramel sauce over the batter.
  9. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the caramel into the batter, creating marbled pockets.
  10. Pour the remaining batter on top and repeat the caramel dollops and swirling.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  12. Cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour to allow fudgy centers to set properly.
  13. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top while warm, if desired.
  14. Use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out and cut into squares before serving.

Notes

Melted butter should be warm, not hot, to avoid cooking eggs prematurely. Fold dry ingredients gently to keep brownies fudgy. Swirl caramel gently to create marbled pockets without blending it all in. Cool brownies completely before slicing for best texture. Chilling brownies for 30 minutes before cutting yields cleaner slices. Use flaky sea salt on top to balance sweetness.
