Salted Rum-Caramel Walnut Lava Brownies

• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup sugar, sifted
• 1 cup brown sugar, sifted
• 8 ounces melted butter
• 11/4 cups cocoa, sifted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup flour, sifted
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 3/4 cups of dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
• Course sea salt
• For Rum:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 can condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tbsp of dark rum

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line cupcake pan with cupcake paper.
2. In a mixer, beat the eggs at medium speed until fluffy and light yellow. Add both sugars. Add remaining ingredients, except for nuts and chocolate chips, and mix to combine.
3. When everything is well mixed (it will be thick), add the nuts and chocolate chips with a spatula, stirring well.
4. Pour the batter into cupcake tin, sprinkle course sea salt on top, and cook for 45 minutes. When they're done, they may be a little gooey in the middle from the chocolate chips melting. Allow for them to cool completely.
5. CARAMEL:
6. Place sugar in a heavy sauce pan or medium-sized pot and add the water. Turn stove to medium-high heat and stir until sugar has dissolved (avoid letting sugar burn)
7. Cover pot, turn heat to high, and boil for 2 minutes.
8. Remove lid and continue to boil on high heat until syrup turns brown around the edges of the pan. Swirl the pan occasionally until mixture turns a deep amber and begins to smoke.
9. Remove pan from heat.
10. Add butter (the mixture will really bubble) and gently stir until all butter is mixed in.
11. Stir in condensed milk (more bubbling).
12. Add vanilla extract and rum (or liquor of choice).
13. Stir until bubbling stops. (If sauce become lumpy, set pan over low heat and stir until smooth then remove from heat.)
14. Pour warm caramel over cooled brownies. Sprinkle more salt over the top. Serve warm.
