Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 0.25 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar and butter over medium heat. Stir continuously until the butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to combine. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly and begins to bubble.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt.

Step 4

Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped pecans and mix well to distribute them evenly throughout the sauce.

Step 6

Let the sauce cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm over vanilla ice cream or your favorite dessert. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
