Delicious brownies topped with buttery popcorn, combining sweet and salty flavors for a unique treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box brownie mix (typically 18–20 oz)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (optional, depending on brownie mix)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups popcorn (popped, preferably caramel-flavored or lightly salted)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix, melted butter, eggs, granulated sugar (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Bake for about 25-30 minutes.
- While the brownies are baking, pop the popcorn according to package instructions. Drizzle with butter or caramel sauce.
- Once the brownies are done, sprinkle the popped popcorn evenly over the top and gently press it into the brownies.
