Step-by-Step Instructions for Salted Caramel Brownie Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 24-count mini muffin tin.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second increments until melted and smooth.
  3. Stir in cocoa powder, instant coffee, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet batter, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about 1.5 tablespoons full with batter and bake for 15-18 minutes. Check for doneness at 15 minutes.
  6. Let brownie bites cool for 5 minutes. Press the center of each bite to create a well.
  7. In a saucepan, combine unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Stir over medium-low heat until completely melted.
  8. Pour the melted caramel into each well and sprinkle with fine sea salt. Allow to cool completely.
