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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Step 8

Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter, then sprinkle with half of the chopped pecans.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans and milk chocolate chips over the top.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 12

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
