Description

A nostalgic dessert combining buttery crusts, gooey caramel, and rich chocolate, topped with a pinch of sea salt for a delightful sweet and salty experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the butter and sugars in a large bowl until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the flour slowly, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips and sea salt.
  6. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut oil for butter. For gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour mix. Pair with vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
