Total Time: 1 hr
Active Time: 30 mins
Makes: About 18 brownies INGREDIENTS
For the brownies:
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into pea-size pieces
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick)
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powderFor the caramel-pecan topping:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups toasted pecans, coarsely chopped INSTRUCTIONS For the brownies: - Heat the oven to 350°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter; set aside.
- Combine chocolate and butter in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Whisk eggs, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until eggs are broken up and smooth. Add chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Add flour and baking powder and stir until just incorporated.
- Transfer batter to the prepared dish and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a rack and cool completely.
For the caramel-pecan topping: - Combine sugar, water, and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often until sugar is completely dissolved. Continue to boil, swirling the pan occasionally (but not stirring), until the mixture turns a deep amber color, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat, carefully pour in cream and vanilla (the mixture will bubble up and steam), and stir until evenly combined.
- Stir pecans into the caramel mixture and immediately drizzle over the brownies. Spread evenly to cover the brownies. Cool completely before cutting.
