While I was looking for some inspiration, I saw a bunch of brownie recipes. That’s when I got an idea. What about putting some caramel and pecans into the brownies? Yum! Who doesn’t love caramel and pecans?

I’m a brownie/bar kinda of girl all the way, so this was the perfect idea. I’d pick a brownie and bar recipes over any dessert. I love how easy they are to make and they always taste delicious! Plus they’re super simple to eat and clean up is a breeze.

I used my easy go to brownie recipe, cooked half of the batter in a baking dish, then smothered melted caramel bits and pecans all over, then put the rest of the brownie batter on top and finished baking them. I crossed my fingers that they would be amazing, but I didn’t realize how good they actually would be. You guys, these Caramel Pecan Brownies are soft with crunchy pecans and edges (I love the crunchy edges, don’t you?). They have the right about of chocolate, pecans and caramel to make them irresistible.
