Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe Brownie base (homemade, boxed mix, or gluten-free)
  • 11 oz Caramels (unwrapped)
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1.5 cups Chopped Pecans
  • 6 tablespoons Butter (softened)
  • 0.75 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Milk
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1.5 teaspoons Oil
  • to taste Fleur de Sel or Coarse Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your 9X13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. Prepare your brownie mix according to instructions or recipe, pour into the pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of milk. Heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Fold in chopped pecans.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk, mixing until fluffy. Spread over the caramel layer.
  4. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and 1.5 teaspoons of oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth. Pour over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle Fleur de Sel or coarse sea salt over the melted chocolate layer while warm. Allow brownies to set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate to firm up before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Homemade caramel is a perfect substitute if preferred.
  • Any milk variety works wonderfully.
  • Feel free to omit pecans for a nut-free version.
  • Unsalted butter is recommended.
  • Natural peanut butter can be used.
  • Maple syrup can be used for a lower-sugar alternative.
  • Dark chocolate is a fabulous option.
