Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 125 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 150 grams caramel sauce
- 100 grams pecan halves
- 100 grams dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and semisweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and the melted butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add the eggs to the mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then sprinkle half of the pecans and dark chocolate chunks on top.
Spread the remaining brownie batter over the first layer, then drizzle the rest of the caramel sauce and sprinkle the remaining pecans and chocolate chunks over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 squares and serve.
