Brownie Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9x12 inch cake tin.
- In a pot, add the butter and dark chocolate. Heat over medium heat until melted and smooth, then leave aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and both sugars until lightened in color and almost doubled in volume.
- Pour the cooled melted butter and chocolate into the egg mixture and whisk.
- Add in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cornflake Layer Preparation
- In a non-stick pot, add 1/4 of the sugar over medium heat. Stir until it starts to melt.
- Add another 1/4 of the sugar and continue stirring until melted. Repeat this process until all the sugar is added and melted to a deep amber color.
- Remove from heat and stir in half of the butter until smooth. Add the remaining butter and mix until smooth.
- Slowly pour in the warm cream while mixing. Return to medium heat and cook for about 2 minutes to slightly thicken.
- Remove from heat, mix in the salt and then the cornflakes.
- Once the brownie has baked and cooled for about 10 minutes, spread the cornflake layer on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set, preferably overnight. Once set, cut into slices and serve.

Notes
Feel free to customize the chocolate type and add nuts for a varied crunch. Don’t rush the caramel for the best flavor!
