Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a square baking dish by greasing it lightly or lining with parchment paper.
Combine the unsalted butter and dark chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and let cool.
Whisk the white granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and beaten eggs in a large bowl. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Pour the cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the sugar-egg mixture and stir until combined.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold it into the wet mixture until just combined.
Bake the brownie batter in the prepared dish for 25-30 minutes. Let cool before cutting.
Combine white granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and water in a saucepan for the butterscotch. Cook until the sugar dissolves and reaches a golden amber color.
Add liquid glucose, butter cubes, thickened cream, sea salt flakes, and vanilla extract to the butterscotch mixture and stir until well combined.
Drizzle the warm salted butterscotch sauce over the cooled brownies. Sprinkle with extra sea salt for decoration.
