Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together until the mixture is pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
-
Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
-
Fold in half of the walnut pieces and any prepared caramel sauce (if using store-bought or homemade caramel not listed in base ingredients, assume a swirl step here for the title) into the batter. If using just the listed ingredients, proceed to pour.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining walnuts over the top.
-
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.
-
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out by the parchment overhang and cutting into squares.
