Ingredients:

• For the Brownies:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• For the Caramel Filling:

• 1 bag (11.5 ounces) caramel candies (such as Kraft caramels)
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

Make the Brownie Batter

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Bake the Brownies

4. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
5. Bake the brownies for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Make the Caramel Filling

6. In a small saucepan, melt the caramel candies and heavy cream together over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and combined.

Assemble the Brownie Bites

7. Allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan for a few minutes. Then, using a spoon, gently press a small indentation into the center of each brownie.
8. Spoon a dollop of the caramel filling into each brownie indentation.
9. Sprinkle the tops of the brownie bites with flaky sea salt to taste.

H3: Cool and Enjoy!

10. Allow the brownie bites to cool completely before serving. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

• For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips in place of some of the cocoa powder.
• If you don’t have caramel candies, you can use store-bought caramel sauce. Just be sure to warm it up slightly before using.
• Get creative with your toppings! Chopped nuts, sprinkles, or mini chocolate eggs would all be delicious additions.
