Ingredients
  

Brownies
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar, coarsely chopped split per directions
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature room temp eggs incorporate better
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened natural or Dutch-process cocoa powder either works; Dutch gives rounder flavor
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped pecans toast them briefly for extra flavor
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup homemade salted caramel store-bought works in a pinch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and 2 ounces of the chopped chocolate. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until melted and smooth.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition to incorporate fully. Stir in the vanilla.
  5. Sift or whisk in the cocoa powder, then the flour and salt. Mix until nearly uniform.
  6. Fold in the remaining chopped chocolate, pecans, and chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30–32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Remove from the oven, let rest for 10–15 minutes, and then pour slightly cooled salted caramel over the brownies.
  10. Cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting into squares.

Notes

For nut-free brownies, swap pecans for toasted sunflower seeds or omit entirely. Use high-quality chocolate (60–70% cacao) for best depth.
