Ingredients 

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Caramel Topping

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter cubed
  • ½ cup heavy cream room temperature
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool.
  6. For the caramel, heat sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted and amber in color.
  7. Add butter and stir until melted. Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring. Let it boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and stir in chopped pecans.
  8. Pour the caramel pecan mixture over the cooled brownies. Let set before cutting into squares.
