Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°, line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and greased liberally with baking spray or butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, melted butter, and whiskey and whisk to combine.

Step 3

Add in the eggs and whisk until they are well incorporated.

Step 4

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt and whisk until all the dry ingredients have just been incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the brownie batter into prepared baking pan and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Brownies should not be jiggly in the middle or shiny on top but might be gooey if tested with a toothpick.

Step 6

Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. Drizzle cut brownies with caramel sauce and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
