Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • ½ c. all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ c. vegetable or canola oil
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ c. semisweet chocolate chips
  • ¼ c. chopped pecans
  • ¼ c. caramel bits
  • 6 oz semisweet or dark chocolate (chopped)
  • 1 ½ Tbsp vegetable shortening
  • ½ c. semisweet chocolate chips
  • ½ c. white chocolate chips
  • ½ c. chocolate covered caramels (I used Rolos, chopped)
  • ¾ c. pecans (roughly chopped)
  • ⅓ c. salted caramel sauce

Instruction

  • Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line with aluminum foil and spray foil as well. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla and stir until well incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips, pecans, and caramel bits. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and put into oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the brownies are set. Let cool completely.
  • Next, place chopped chocolate and shortening into a heatproof bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals in the microwave until completely melted - stir frequently. Pour melted chocolate over the brownies in an even layer. Sprinkle chocolate chips, chopped chocolate covered caramels, and chopped pecans over the chocolate. Drizzle with the caramel sauce and let brownies sit for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set before cutting into squares.
