Instructions

🔥 Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or non-stick spray.

🍪 Step 2: Make the Crust

In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture into the pie dish, covering the bottom and sides evenly.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool while you prep the filling.

🍫 Step 3: Prepare the Brownie Filling

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and chocolate chips in 20-second bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla until well combined.
Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

🥄 Step 4: Add Dry Ingredients

Sift in flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!

🍯 Step 5: Layer the Caramel

Pour half of the brownie batter into your cooled crust and spread evenly.
Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with sea salt, if using.
Top with the remaining brownie batter, spreading to cover the caramel layer completely.

⏲ Step 6: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the brownie layer is set but still fudgy in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.

🧁 Step 7: Cool & Serve

Let the pie cool slightly before slicing—it holds together better this way.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or an extra drizzle of caramel.
