Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet directly over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and cool 5 minutes.
2
Whisk sugar into the chocolate mixture until combined. Whisk in eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla vigorously for 1 minute until the mixture is thick and ribbony — this step creates the shiny, crackled top characteristic of perfect brownies. Fold in flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
3
Smooth the batter evenly in the same cast-iron skillet — no need to transfer it. Sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt. Bake at 350°F for 22–26 minutes until the top is set and shiny, the edges are pulling away from the sides, and a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with moist crumbs. The center will still look slightly underdone. Cool 10 minutes, then serve directly from the skillet with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
