How to Make Gooey Caramel Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup margarine, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 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. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. While brownies bake, prepare the caramel topping: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup caramel candies and 1/4 cup milk. Stir frequently until caramels are melted and smooth.
  9. Once brownies are baked, let them cool slightly before drizzling the caramel sauce evenly over the top.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
  11. Prepare the chocolate ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon margarine. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
  12. Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the pecans.
  13. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
