Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that the brownie will bake evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Grease a rectangular baking dish (approximately 20 cm x 30 cm) with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal after baking.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Mix the Eggs and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and frothy. This will help incorporate air into the brownies for a good texture.
Step 5: Combine Chocolate Mixture
Once the chocolate and butter mixture has cooled slightly, add it to the egg and sugar mixture. Stir until fully combined.
Step 6: Add Flour
Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense brownies.
Step 7: Incorporate the Caramel Chips
Add the caramel chips to the brownie batter and gently fold them in until evenly distributed.
Step 8: Pour the Batter into the Baking Dish
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
Step 9: Bake the Brownies
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10: Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
