Abandon your diet, and get out the milk. Just when you think you’ve tried them all… that you can’t possibly find a brownie more decadent than Cappuccino Brownies, more gooey than Ultimate Gooey Brownies, more creamy than the Mascarpone Brownies, or more all-around-fantastic than the Oreo Brownies… one comes along that produces more drool than you ever thought you could possibly render in a given day- these Caramel Pecan Brownies.
I love how the caramel slightly dribbles off of the sides after cutting them into slices. I place each Caramel Pecan Brownie on a little piece of parchment paper for easy serving. Your guests can simply pick up the brownie with the parchment underneath and can eat it as a hand-held dessert without getting messy. For me, caramel + pecans is equivalent to peanut butter + jelly. They just sort of go together in a big way. This Caramel Pecan Brownie recipe is rich and delicious. It’s a definite keeper. But be sure to have plenty of milk around (you’ll thank me later). And you can go back to dieting after you plow through a few of these. Note: This recipe was originally published in 2008. It was updated and republished in 2018.
