Homemade options can reduce costs and enhance flavor.

Grab a heat-proof bowl and place the butter in it.

Microwave the butter for around 1 to 1.5 minutes until melted.

Add cocoa powder to the melted butter and whisk until fully combined, resulting in a smoother and glossier mixture.

Add granulated sugar and whisk until fully incorporated, noticing a change in consistency.

Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated and the mixture becomes smoother and glossier.

Scrape down the bowl to incorporate any bits that may not have been fully mixed in.

Add the all-purpose flour and chocolate chips to the mixture and combine until you have a clear brownie batter.

Transfer the brownie batter into a 9x9 inch square cake pan lined with parchment paper, spreading it evenly.

Top the batter with stroopwafel spread and optional caramel, swirling them into the batter with a butter knife to create a pattern.

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake.

After baking, top with additional caramel pieces if desired.

Let the brownies cool overnight before cutting them into pieces.
