Chocolate Salted Butterscotch Brownies

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture gradually, stirring until just combined.
Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 20–25 minutes and test with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup of butter, brown sugar, and heavy cream. Stir until smooth and bubbling.
Pour the warm butterscotch mixture over the slightly cooled brownies and spread evenly across the top.
Sprinkle additional sea salt over the top.
Cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator before cutting into squares.
Serve by cutting into squares.
