Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chopped chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat together sugars, eggs, and vanilla until thick and creamy (about 2–3 minutes).
Add melted chocolate mixture and mix until combined.
Sift in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Scoop dough and flatten slightly. Place a caramel candy in the center and fold dough over to seal. Roll gently into a ball.
Place on baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set but centers are soft. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring.
Serve warm for gooey centers, or cool completely for a chewy caramel core.

Notes

Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
Chill dough slightly if too sticky to handle.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
