Dulce De Leche Brownies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Line an 8-inch square baking dish with a sheet aluminum foil that covers the bottom and goes up, hanging over the sides. If it doesn't reach all the way up and over all four sides, cross another sheet of foil over it, making a large cross with edges that overhang the sides. Spray the bottom and sides of the foil with cooking spray.

3. 3

   In a saucepan melt butter, add the semi-sweet chocolate, stirring constantly over very low heat until the chocolate is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, then stir in the sugar, vanilla, then the flour and nuts if using.

4. 4

   Pour half of the batter into baking dish. Spoon one-third of the dulce de leche, over the brownie batter evenly in dollops, then drag a knife or spatula through and swirl. Pour the remaining brownie batter over, then spoon the remaining dulce de leche in dollops over the top of the brownie batter. Use a knife or spatula to swirl it, creating a marbled effect.

5. 5

   Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The brownie center will be slightly firm when they are done. Remove from the oven and allow cool completely.

   Enjoy!
