Caramel:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups brown sugar, packed

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup butter

1 cup corn syrup

Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar, milk, and corn syrup. Bring to a roiling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 3-4 minutes until caramel coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Pour into a greased glass pan, set aside until cool.

Brownies:

3/4 cups butter

1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1 1/2 cups sugar

3/4 cups flour

2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla

sea salt

2 mega ounces of love

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8x8 glass baking dish. Melt butter and cocoa together. Add sugar and eggs, stirring until smooth. Mix in flour and salt until gooey. Take off heat stir in vanilla. Pour half of the batter in the glass dish. Pour 1/4 pan of cooled caramel over the brownie mixture. Use a spatula to spread caramel evenly. Pour the remaining brownie mixture over caramel. Use the spatula to spread the brownie mixture over the caramel and seal the sides so no caramel shows. Bake at 350 for 15 min, then lower the temp to 325 and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes. Brownies should be gooey and not over-baked. Remove from oven and sprinkle sea salt over the top. Let cool and enjoy!
