A brownie alone is delicious, but add a layer of gooey caramel, sprinkle a few pecans on top and you have a treat that can't be beat.
Ingredients: 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons water, 2 cups chocolate chips, divided, 2 eggs, slightly beaten, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2/3 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 25 caramels, 1/4 cup butter, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 cup pecan pieces.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Remove wrappers from caramels and set aside. In medium saucepan, place sugar, butter and water; cook over low heat, stirring ocnstantly, until mixture boils. Remove from heat; immediately add 1 cup chocolate chips, stirring until melted. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well blended. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; stir into chocolate mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until brownies begin to pull away from sides of pan. During the last 5 minutes of baking prepare caramel topping: in medium bowl, place butter, caramels and milk. Microwave at High for 1 minute; stir. Microwave additional 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred.
Remove pan from oven and immediately and carefully pour caramel topping over hot brownies. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup chocolate chips and pecan pieces over topping. Cool completely on wire rack, being careful not to disturb chips while soft. Cut into bars.
Makes about 16 bars.
