Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, plus more for greasing pan
  • 5 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • Half of a 14-ounce can dulce de leche
  • Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-by-8-inch baking pan (a square pan will result in thicker brownies).
  • In a medium-large saucepan, melt the butter with the chocolate over low heat, whisking occasionally until smooth and melted.
  • Sprinkle in the cocoa powder and whisk to combine.
  • Allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla until just combined.
  • Stir in the eggs.
  • Gently stir in the flour until halfway incorporated.
  • Pour the batter (it will be very thick!)
  • into the prepared pan.
  • Place the dulce de leche in a glass bowl.
  • Warm it in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds.
  • Drop large dollops of dulce de leche on the surface of the brownie batter.
  • Use a knife to slowly swirl it through the batter.
  • Don't drag the knife sideways through the batter; hold it so the thin side of the knife leads the way.
  • Bake for 40 minutes, then check the brownies with a toothpick.
  • If they are overly gooey/messy, return to the oven for 5 to 10 more minutes (just be careful not to burn the edges).
  • Allow to cool completely (important!
  • ), then sprinkle with powdered sugar and cut into small squares.
