Total Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Yield: 24 brownies
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 4 | Butter |
| 3/4 | Margarine |
| 2 | Sugar |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 1 | Flour |
| 1 | Pecan halves |
| 1/3 | Cream |
| 2 | Chocolate squares |
| 1 | Chocolate chunks (divided) |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 13×9 baking pan with foil, making sure to spray the foil with cooking spray. The foil should be cut long enough to fold the ends over the edge of the pan on each end.
-
Melt chocolate squares and butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl on High for about 2 minutes or until melted. Stir in sugar until well blended.
-
Add eggs to the mixture and blend well.
-
Stir in flour until well blended.
-
Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes or until the brownies are firm. Keep the oven on for the next steps.
-
While the brownies are baking, prepare the caramel pecan topping. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and cream. Microwave on high for about 2 minutes or until the caramels are partially melted. Stir to help them melt completely.
-
Mix in 1 cup of pecans and carefully spread the caramel pecan mixture over the baked brownies.
-
Sprinkle half of the chocolate chunks over the caramel layer.
-
Pour the remaining brownie batter over the caramel layer, evenly spreading it out if needed. It’s okay if some of the caramel is showing.
-
Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chunks and pecans on top of the brownie batter.
-
Bake for another 30 minutes or until the brownies are firm.
-
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out using the foil and transfer them to a cutting board to cut them into squares.
