Ingredients
- – 12 tablespoons (170g) unsalted butter cut into Tablespoon-sized pieces
- – ½ cup (85g) semisweet chocolate chips
- – ½ cup (50g) natural cocoa powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) instant coffee grounds
- – 1 cup (200g) packed light brown sugar
- – ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- – 2 large eggs
- – 1 large egg yolk
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- – 1 cup (140g) all-purpose flour
- – 2 tablespoons (20g) all-purpose flour
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) baking powder
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- – 35 unwrapped caramels
- – ½ cup (115ml) heavy cream
- – fine sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and apply baking spray to a 24-slot mini muffin pan. Place aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe container, combine the butter pieces and chocolate chips. Heat for 30 seconds, stir thoroughly, and then heat for another 15 seconds. Stir well and repeat for 15-second intervals until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Mix in the cocoa powder, coffee grounds, packed brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Add the two eggs, the extra egg yolk, and the vanilla extract, then mix vigorously.
- In another medium bowl, combine the flour, extra flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking together.
- Incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet egg mixture and stir until everything is well-mixed. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter into each section of the prepared muffin tin.
- Bake for about 18 minutes, checking with a toothpick that should come out with dry crumbs or just slightly fudgy (not with wet batter).
- Once baked, use a teaspoon or tablespoon to press a hollow into each brownie bite. Let them cool down as you make the caramel filling.
- To create the caramel filling, melt the caramels with the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often until smooth. Remove from heat once blended.
- Drizzle the melted caramel into each brownie bite’s hollow.
- Dust with sea salt and let them cool entirely before enjoying.
Notes
- For a more decadent flavor, opt for high-quality dark chocolate chips over semisweet.
- Use natural cocoa powder for a bolder chocolate taste.
- To maintain a moist and fudgy texture, avoid overbaking the brownie bites.
