Yield: 12 squares
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 1 cup of all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder; 1 teaspoon of baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon of salt; 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup of granulated sugar; 2 large eggs; 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; 1/2 cup of milk; 1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips; 1/2 cup of caramel sauce, store-bought or homemade

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set the dry ingredients aside.
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, mixing until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter.
Carefully add the remaining batter on top of the caramel layer and spread it out evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top.
Using a knife or a toothpick, swirl the batter and caramel together to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
Allow the Chocolate Charlie to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing it into squares and serving. Enjoy the chocolatey goodness with a glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
