04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (for salted caramel).
05 - 1/2 tsp salt (for salted caramel).
06 - 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for brownies).
07 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for brownies).
08 - 3 large eggs (room temperature, for brownies).
09 - 1 egg yolk (for brownies).
10 - 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter (for brownies).
11 - 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil (for brownies).
12 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (for brownies).
13 - 1 cup all-purpose flour (for brownies).
14 - 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for brownies).
15 - 1 tbsp cornstarch (for brownies).
16 - 1 tsp salt (for brownies).
17 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for brownies).

# Instructions:

01 - Heat granulated sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until melted, stirring until smooth.
02 - Gradually add cubed butter to the melted sugar, stirring until fully melted and bubbly. Slowly mix in heavy cream.
03 - Stir in vanilla extract and salt into the caramel mixture. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes.
04 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x9-inch pan and line it with parchment paper.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.
06 - In a large bowl, whisk granulated sugar, powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for 2 minutes. Add melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
07 - Gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula.
08 - Spread half the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Pour half the salted caramel over the batter, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover with the remaining batter.
09 - Bake the brownies for 40-45 minutes. Check for doneness using a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
10 - Allow the brownies to cool. Poke holes with a skewer and pour the remaining caramel on top to seep in.
11 - Let the brownies rest for 10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve.
