How to Make Chip N Nut Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. **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.
  3. Add 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. **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.
  8. Bake the brownie base for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Remove the brownie from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Pour the caramel mixture evenly over the warm brownie base.
  11. Sprinkle with ½ cup chopped pecans and ½ cup chocolate chips.
  12. Bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and slightly golden.
  13. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
