Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 package (14 oz) caramels, unwrapped
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk

Brownies

  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (11.5 or 12 oz) semisweet chocolate chunks (2 cups)
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan. In small saucepan, cook caramels and milk over low heat until caramels are melted and smooth, stirring frequently.
  • 2
    In medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar, vanilla and eggs. Stir in flour, cocoa and salt until well blended. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chunks and 1 cup of the pecans. Spoon and spread batter in pan.
  • 3
    Gently and evenly drizzle caramel filling over batter to prevent large pockets of caramel and to prevent caramel from reaching bottom of bars. (Caramel can cover entire surface of batter.)
  • 4
    Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until set.
  • 5
    In small saucepan, melt remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chunks with oil over low heat, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over warm brownies. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup pecans; press in lightly. Cool 20 minutes. Refrigerate 1 hour 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Cut into squares. If refrigerated longer, let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

  • These brownies are incredibly decadent. The recipe is inspired by all the indulgent brownies for sale at bakeries, cafes, and gourmet shops.
  • Stir 1/2 cup each of semisweet, milk and white chocolate chunks into brownie batter. Try cashews, walnuts or almonds in these brownies.
  • Cut brownies into squares. Arrange on a pretty doily-lined platter and garnish with fresh strawberries.
