- Put the rest of the caramel in a large bowl with 200g golden caster sugar and 4 medium eggs, and beat with anelectric hand mixer or balloon whiskuntil even. Whisk in the chocolate and butter.

- Pour half the brownie batter into the tin and level it with aspatula.
- Using a teaspoon, spoon half of the salted caramel on top of the batter layer in 5 thick, evenly spaced stripes.
- Spoon the rest of the brownie batter on top and smooth it out, trying not to disturb the caramel beneath. Top with the rest of the caramel in the same stripy fashion. Drag askeweror tip of a knife through the caramel to make a feathered pattern on the top.
- Scatter with a little more sea salt, then bake for 25-30 mins or until risen all the way to the middle with a firm crust on top. When ready, the brownie will jiggle just a little when you shake the tin.
- Let it cool completely in the tin, then cut into squares.
