Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

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 it cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the butter-chocolate mixture until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

While the brownies cool, prepare the caramel topping by melting the caramel candies and heavy cream together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.

Step 9

Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the cooled brownies and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, pressing them lightly into the caramel.

Step 10

Melt the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl using 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel and pecan topping using a spoon or a piping bag for an even pattern.

Step 12

Allow the chocolate to set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator before slicing into squares. Serve and enjoy!
