Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides.
  2. Step 2: Melt 6 oz dark chocolate and 1/2 cup unsalted butter together in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 1 minute, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  3. Step 3: Whisk the melted chocolate mixture with 3/4 cup granulated sugar until fully combined, then add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Step 4: Sift together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour and 3 tbsp cocoa powder, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture until no dry streaks remain.
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula, and sprinkle 1/4 tsp sea salt over the top.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 22-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
  7. Step 7: Let cool completely in the pan, then lift out using the parchment paper and drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel sauce before cutting into squares.
