How to Make Chip N Nut Caramel Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
- **Brownie Base:** In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- **Caramel Topping:** While the brownie base is baking, combine 14 ounces Hershey's caramels and ½ cup heavy cream in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
- Bake the brownie base for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownie from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the warm brownie base.
- Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped pecans and ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
