How to Make Gooey Caramel Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- 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.
- Once brownies are baked, let them cool slightly before drizzling the caramel sauce evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- 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.
- Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the pecans.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting into 16 squares.
