Equipment

2-quart saucepan
large mixing bowl
Whisk
wooden spoon
Stovetop
Oven
9" x 9" baking dish
parchment paper
Measuring cups & spoons

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
½ cup Ghirardelli Bittersweet 60% Cacao Baking Chips
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup Ghirardelli 100% Cocoa Powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
9 Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel Squares unwrapped

Instructions

Be sure your oven is preheat to 350 degrees F. and adjusted to the center rack position. Line a 9 x 9 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a 2-quart sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar, and chocolate chips. Whisk until combined, and thick.
Transfer chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add eggs one at a time, stirring between each, and then mix in the extract.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Using a wooden spoon, mix until just combined. You should see no more flour streaks.
Pour batter into parchment-lined pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. These will look a little under baked, but they are just fudgy and will form as they cool.
Cool brownies for 15 minutes before adding Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel Squares. Allow brownies to full cool for an additional 45 minutes before removing them from the pan and cutting.
