Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
- 0.25 cup milk chocolate chips
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 unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans.
Pour the remaining brownie batter on top and spread it evenly. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top and create swirls using a knife or toothpick.
Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans and milk chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
