Ingredients:

For the brownie bombs:

• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For the caramel filling:

• 15 soft caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon sea salt (for sprinkling)

For the coating:

• 8 ounces dark or milk chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Optional garnish:

• Additional sea salt (for sprinkling)
• Cocoa powder (for dusting)
• Whipped cream
• Fresh berries

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
5. Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of the brownie batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You should have approximately 16 portions.
7. Bake the brownie portions in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set and shiny. The centers should still be slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
8. While the brownie portions are cooling, prepare the caramel filling. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the caramels have melted and the mixture is smooth.
9. Once the brownie portions have cooled, take a portion and press a small indentation in the center with your thumb. Fill the indentation with about ½ teaspoon of the melted caramel mixture. Repeat with the remaining brownie portions.
10. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel filling in each brownie bomb.
11. Place the brownie bombs in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
12. In the meantime, prepare the coating. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark or milk chocolate and vegetable oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until smooth.
13. Remove the brownie bombs from the freezer. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each brownie bomb into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
14. Place the coated brownie bombs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining brownie bombs.
15. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the top of each coated brownie bomb for an extra burst of saltiness.
16. Place the brownie bombs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating has set.
17. Once set, remove the brownie bombs from the refrigerator. If desired, dust them with cocoa powder or garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries.
