Salted Caramel Mocha Brownies

Yesterday it was the homemade PCL. Today it’s the SCM in brownie form.

Because I love ya.

And firmly believe in these drinks and the flavor combinations…just homemade or disguised in a brownie. Because I don’t like spending $5 on a latte…especially when I can make dinner for my family for that much.

So these are to.die.for. You will eat the entire pan in one shot…I promise not to judge. Because we (and I mean, I) might have eaten the entire pan…maybe with a little help from a few little boys. Gluttony doesn’t exist when it comes to these brownies đŸ˜‰

Coffee grounds.

Caramel drops. (These things are called Caramel Bits. I mentioned them here.)

Sea salt, big ole chunks.

And ooey-gooey, fudgey brownie.

Put it all into one pan….Dessert heaven.

I dare ya to eat just one!!!

Ingredients 

  • 2 oz. semisweet baking chocolate chopped or shaved
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 cups chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x8-inch glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Drop the sea salt all over the top of the batter, pinchful at a time.
