1½ c unbleached flour
1 c good, unsweetened dark cocoa
1 ts fine salt
2 sticks soft, unsalted butter
1 c brown sugar + 2 c granulated sugar
1 tb vanilla extract
½ tb instant coffee
4 room temperature eggs
Salted Caramel
1 c brown sugar
½ c half and half
4 tb unsalted butter

Instructions
In the first bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, and salt.
In the second bowl, cream together the butter and sugars for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
Blend in the vanilla, coffee, and eggs to the second bowl, adding the eggs one at a time.
In thirds, sprinkle the first bowl into the second, mixing just to combine.
Pour into a well greased pan and bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
For the caramel sauce, combine everything together and heat until it gets thick and smooth. Cool at room temperature or in the fridge until ready to use.
To assemble, line the top of the cooled brownies with pretzels then generously drizzle with caramel sauce.
