Chocolate and salted rum caramel brownies

These boozy salted rum caramel brownies are the perfect step up from classic chocolate brownies. They use shop bought salted caramel, and so come together dangerously quickly.

• 100 g of unsalted butter
• 100 g of milk chocolate, chopped
• 100 g of dark chocolate, chopped
• 4 eggs
• 250 g of golden caster sugar

4. Beat the eggs and sugar together until pale, then whisk in the chocolate and butter mixture  
5. Combine the the flour, cocoa powder, the baking powder and a pinch of salt in another bowl then sift onto the chocolate mixture and beat until just combined

7. Spoon half the brownie mix into the tin
