Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pecans
• 20 pieces Soft caramels
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter-chocolate mixture until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the wet ingredients, and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Chop the pecans, reserving a handful for topping, and fold the rest into the brownie batter.

Step 7

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 8

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the soft caramels and heavy cream. Stir constantly until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Drizzle the caramel sauce over the brownie batter in the pan and use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect by gently swirling the caramel into the batter.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved pecans over the top of the batter for added crunch.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted 2 inches from the edge comes out with a few moist crumbs. Do not overbake.

Step 12

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares and serving.
