Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit).
In a pan set over a low to medium heat, add the dark brown sugar, butter cut into cubes, and chocolate broken into pieces.
Use a rubber spatula to stir everything well to melt into a smooth mixture.
Leave the mixture to cool down.
In a large mixing bowl, add the granulated sugar and eggs, and use a hand mixture to beat them well until they triple their volume and you get mixture that is light and has a pale yellow colour.
Sift in the flour and cocoa powder, add the chocolate mixture, and mix to get a smooth batter.
Line a square baking tray with non-stick paper (mine is 24 cm x 5 cm or 9 inches large and 2 inches high), and add half of the chocolate mixture, spreading it well.
Top it a layer of caramel, then the remaining chocolate mixture.
Use a popsicle stick to swirl the mixture, then bake for 35 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven and leave the brownies to cool down completely in the tray.

Notes

Leave the brownies to cool down completely in the baking tray, do not remove them from the tray before, as the mixture is still gooey in the middle and it will collapse otherwise and make a mess.
The brownies might look like they are not baked properly when they come out of the oven, but they have the perfect gooey texture - they will harden once they cool down well.
Do not attempt to slice the brownies when they are still warm, the caramel makes the slices heavier and messier otherwise. You will get good slices when it's all set - you can also refrigerate them once they are cool.
