Caramel Pecan Brownies

If you love brownies then you’re gonna love these Caramel Pecan Brownies. They’re soft, chewy, chocolate-y with caramel and pecans. Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream and you’re in brownie heaven.

I was in a baking mood this past week and really wanted to make something chocolate-y. I decided to go on a google hunt. Wow! Seriously you guys, there are so many yummy ideas on google.  I could  spend all day just looking around and pinning lots and lots of recipes and DIY projects. So many fun things! If you’re on Pinterest, be sure to follow me here for all of My Kitchen Craze recipes and more!! 

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.

Beware you will want more than one. And you will want ice cream or a glass of milk with it. Be prepared to have your mind blown. No joke. These are one the best brownies I’ve had in a long time. You’re going to have to trust me and make them asap!
