Ingredients

For the crust:

1 1/2 cup crushed pretzels (100g)
1/4 cup unsalted butter room temperature (55g)
1 Tbsp granulated sugar

For the brownies:

1 cup Nutella (290g)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (65g)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt

For the topping:

4 Tbsp caramel sauce
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F (180C) and line a 9x9-inch pan with two overlapping parchment paper strips that hang over the sides to make getting the brownies out of the pan easier.
In a small bowl mix crushed pretzels, sugar, and butter together. Press the pretzel mixture into the bottom of your pan. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add all the ingredients for the brownies. Mix at medium speed until well combined, don't overmix.
Spread the brownie batter on top of the pretzel crust.
Pour the caramel sauce over the batter and use a fork to make some swirls. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs attached. Let the brownies completely cool down before cutting into squares.
