From the pantry you’ll need flour, sugar, cocoa powder, sea salt caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.

How to make brownies from scratch:

Of course we will have a few more steps than with a boxed mix but don’t let that scare you, these brownies from scratch are not that much more difficult and the end result is much tastier!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Using wax paper, line a baking sheet.  Set aside. 

In a bowl, add the melted butter and cocoa powder.  Beat until smooth using an electric mixer. 

Add the sugar and flour and mix well. Add eggs, vanilla and caramel sauce.  Mix until combined.  The batter will be thick. 

Drizzle the top with caramel sauce.

Pour into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.  Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick will come out clean.  As soon as you take the brownies out of the oven, make the icing.  

To make the icing, combine all ingredients and beat until smooth.  

Pour the icing over the brownies while they are still warm.  The icing will melt and cover completely.  

Dust with powdered sugar and allow the frosting to set.
