Caramel Pecan Brownies

  • 1 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1 (4oz) unsweetened chocolate baking bar, chopped
  • ¾ cup butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant.

Microwave chocolate and ¾ cup butter in a large microwave-safe bowl on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30 second intervals. Whisk in sugar and eggs until well blended. Stir in flour. Spread batter into a greased 13×9 inch pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool 1 hour on a wire rack.

Combine brown sugar, milk, 2 Tablespoons butter, and salt in a large saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour over brownies, spreading to edges; sprinkle with toasted pecans. Let cool 30 minutes. Cut into squares.
