Salted Caramel Brownies
Salted Caramel Brownies are a layered dessert with a chocolatey base featuring semisweet and unsweetened chocolate, enhanced by espresso and vanilla for depth. The brownies are marbled with a smooth caramel layer and topped with flaky salt, balancing the sweetness with a salty finish. Baked in a 9x13 pan, they have a rich, moist texture and a complex flavor profile from the espresso and salted caramel elements.
