How to Make Better Than Sex Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate fudge cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted, and 1/3 cup milk. Mix until well combined.
  3. Press half of the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  4. Bake for 6 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped pecans evenly over the half-baked batter.
  6. In a small saucepan, melt 14 oz caramels with the remaining 1/3 cup milk over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour the caramel mixture over the pecans.
  7. Sprinkle 1 cup chocolate chips over the caramel layer.
  8. Pour the remaining cake batter over the chocolate chips.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 3 hours to allow the brownies to set. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
