Instructions

What To Avoid While Making This Recipe?
- Skipping Pan Preparation: Forgetting to grease and line the pan with parchment paper may cause the brownies to stick, making it difficult to remove them cleanly.
- Using Cold Ingredients: Starting with cold butter or eggs can lead to uneven mixing. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Adding Hot Caramel: Drizzling hot caramel over the batter can melt and disturb the layers. Let the caramel cool slightly before layering to maintain a distinct texture.
