Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups caramel sauce
- 1 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the surface is just set.
While the brownies are baking, warm the caramel sauce slightly in the microwave to make it pourable (if needed). Set aside.
Remove the pan from the oven, then pour the caramel sauce evenly over the partially baked brownie layer. Sprinkle chopped pecans over the caramel.
Dollop the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer and use a spatula to gently spread it to cover as much as possible.
Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie (not the caramel layer) comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips with the heavy cream in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the cooled brownies.
Once the drizzle is set, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy!
