Ingredients
Brownies
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ cup all-purpose flour

Caramel Pecan Topping
• ¾ cup caramel sauce
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Whisk melted butter and sugar together until smooth.

Add eggs and vanilla and whisk until fully combined.

Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and salt just until no dry streaks remain.

Fold in the chocolate chips, then spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
-
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center remains slightly fudgy.

While the brownies cool, melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add pecans and toast for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently.
-
Stir the toasted pecans into the caramel sauce with a small pinch of sea salt.

Spread the caramel pecan mixture generously over the cooled brownies.

Let the topping set for about 20–30 minutes, then cut into squares.
🍂 For extra visual appeal, drizzle each brownie with additional caramel and finish with a few pecan halves and a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
