Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8? x 8? glass pan.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Remove and add the sugar, stirring to combine it all together. Return the sugar/butter mixture to the heat for about a minute or until it’s hot, but not yet bubbling. Remove from heat.

In a small bowl, add the 2 eggs and beat for about a minute. Add the cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and vanilla and beat into the eggs until smooth.

Stir the hot sugar/butter into the egg mixture until it is all smooth.

Add the flour and mix well.

Add the chocolate chips and the caramel candies, just until combined.

Pour the batter into your lightly greased 8? x 8? pan and bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with no loose batter. Allow to cool slightly before cutting or they will fall apart easily. Slice and serve.

(If needed, warm up slightly on plate in microwave for about 10 seconds).
