- Make the caramel: Place sugar and ¼ cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk gently in the beginning to make sure sugar dissolves. Boil until temperature reads 350°F on a candy thermometer. Heat butter and cream in another saucepan until melted. Once sugar syrup reaches 350°F, remove from heat and gently whisk in butter-cream mixture in a slow stream. Place saucepan over low heat and whisk continuously until mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Pour caramel on top of cooled brownies. Chill for at least 5 hours (overnight is best).
- Slice into squares and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
