Dulce de Leche Brownies

1/2 cup cocoa (dutch-process if possible)

1/2 cup + 1 Tablespoon flour

1 cup - 1 Tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, whisked, at room temperature

1 teaspoon vanilla

8 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup Dulce de Leche

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Grease an 8x8 baking pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa, flour, sugar and salt.  Make a well in the center and add the eggs, vanilla and butter.  Mix just until combined.  Fold in chocolate chips.  Pour half the batter in prepared pan.  Distribute half the Dulce de Leche by spoonfuls evenly over the batter.  Take a knife and swirl slightly.  Pour the remaining half of the batter into the pan.  Repeat the spoonfuls of Dulce de Leche and swirl.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.  Don't over-bake.  A toothpick poked in the center should have a few moist crumbs attached.  These are best served warm--not straight out of the oven, but still warm.  If you're given a cold one, a few seconds in the microwave will bring back the ooey goodness!
