Ingredients
For the Brownies:
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Caramel:
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions
For the Flourless Brownies:
1οΈβ£ Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350Β°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking pan. 2οΈβ£ Mix the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Beat until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth, then beat for about 2 minutes. 3οΈβ£ Add Dry Ingredients: Stir together the cocoa powder and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and blend until smooth. 4οΈβ£ Bake: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the brownies cool slightly.
For the Caramel:
1οΈβ£ Cook the Caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns caramel-colored. 2οΈβ£ Add Butter and Cream: Add the butter and stir until melted. Slowly add the heavy cream and continue stirring until smooth. If clumps form, return to heat and stir until dissolved. 3οΈβ£ Finish the Caramel: Stir in the vanilla and salt. Let the caramel cool completely in the refrigerator.
Assembly:
1οΈβ£ Shape the Brownies: Once the brownies are slightly cooled but still a bit warm, cut them into squares. Gently squish each square and form it into a ball. Make an indentation with your thumb and fill it with a spoonful of cooled caramel. Seal the brownie around the caramel and roll it into a round ball. 2οΈβ£ Freeze the Balls: Place the caramel-filled brownie balls on a parchment paper-lined pan and freeze for about 20 minutes or until cold.
For the Chocolate Coating:
1οΈβ£ Melt the Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Stir in the chopped salted peanuts. 2οΈβ£ Coat the Brownie Balls: Dip each brownie ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper. 3οΈβ£ Freeze Again: Freeze the balls again to harden the chocolate quickly or let them set at room temperature.
