Like many of Ina’s best desserts, this brownie recipe is relatively simple and straightforward, and relies on a handful of high-quality ingredients. I had a feeling it would become my new favorite dessert when I saw that she calls for two kinds of chocolate for an even richer, more complex flavor. Plus, she offers a recommendation for a good-quality jar of caramel sauce for topping the treat, which saved me the time and effort of having to make a batch from scratch.

“This recipe is a keeper," one commenter wrote. "Have made them several times and they are so decadent, especially with the caramel and salt." Another reviewer had a similarly good experience with the brownies but chose to omit an ingredient: “I really enjoyed the brownies. I didn't use the coffee, but they were so good."
However, not everyone fell head over heels with Ina’s salted caramel brownies. Multiple reviewers complained about the texture of the brownies, with some mentioning that they were too hard, and others ending up with brownies that had to be eaten with a fork because they were so moist.

Ingredients Needed for Ina's Salted Caramel Brownies
Ina also calls for instant coffee granules, which are folded directly into the batter to enhance the flavor of the chocolate (but if you don’t like coffee, don’t worry—these brownies don’t end up tasting much like coffee, and you can always omit the ingredient).
In addition to these ingredients, you’ll need basic baking ingredients like butter, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, baking powder and kosher salt. A note on the eggs, though: In this recipe, as is the case with most of her recipes, Ina calls for extra-large eggs. These weigh more than regular large eggs, which are what most people stock in their fridge, so double-check your carton before you start cracking.

How To Make Ina's Salted Caramel Brownies

Ina’s salted caramel brownies start in a double-boiler on the stovetop. You’ll melt the butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and unsweetened chocolate together in a bowl set over simmering water. Ina notes that it’s important to let the chocolate mixture cool a bit before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients to avoid cooking the eggs. Once the mixture is cool, you’ll fold it into a mixture of the eggs, coffee, vanilla and sugar.

Next, you’ll toss the remaining semi-sweet chocolate chips with some flour (which will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of your brownies) before folding them into the batter. Then it's into a pan and into the oven the brownies go, for just over 30 minutes or until set (be sure not to overbake). Once the brownies come out of the oven, Ina recommends immediately topping them with a generous drizzle of warm caramel sauce and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before cooling and serving.

Ina's Salted Caramel Brownies: My Honest Thoughts

Are Ina Garten’s salted caramel brownies the best I’ve ever made? To put it simply, no. The recipe is a bit fussy and requires buying a few somewhat pricey ingredients. Even though these were fudgy, for the amount of chocolate required, I wish that these tasted even more chocolatey. And the texture wasn’t my favorite; some reviewers complained that these brownies were crumbly, which led me to think that they’d be dry. They were moist and fudgy, but I do agree that the texture left something to be desired. They didn’t have a great structure and are definitely the type of brownie that requires a fork for eating.
Make them for a gathering when you want a crowd-pleasing dessert that’s sure to impress, or anytime you want to enjoy a fresh batch of brownies (which, if you’re like me, is pretty much all the time).
