Tips:

  • Use a dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will give the brownies a rich, fudgy flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dry brownie. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Be careful not to overcook the brownies. Overcooked brownies will be dry and crumbly. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

These gooey caramel pecan brownies are the perfect treat for any chocolate lover. They are rich, fudgy, and packed with caramel and pecans. They are sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. These brownies are also very easy to make. The batter comes together in just a few minutes, and the brownies bake in about 30 minutes.
