Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • 5x9 loaf pan
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie Sheet
  • small bowl

Ingredients

Brownies

  • ½ cup margarine
  • ½ cup salted butter
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • cups flour
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 13.4 ounces La Lechera Caramel 1 can

Toasted Pecans

  • 1 cup pecans pieces
  • 1 Tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grease an 8x8 inch pan and a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, melt the margarine and butter.
  • Stir in cocoa and sugar.
  • Then add in eggs and mix on low speed until all combined well.
  • Then add in vanilla and flour and mix until incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared pans. 2/3 of batter into the 8x8 inch pan. The other 1/3 of batter into the loaf pan.
  • Add chocolate chips to the top of the 8x8 inch pan. Pat them down lightly.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes or until set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (We cooked ours for about 25-26 minutes. Ovens temps vary so check your brownies)
  • Drizzle a little caramel over brownies when they come out of the oven.
  • Let brownies cool.
  • While the brownies are cooling, toast the pecans.
  • Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place pecans into a small bowl and pour melted butter over the pecans and stir well.
  • Spread on the cookie sheet and bake for 350 for about 6 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Remove the brownies from the loaf pan.
  • Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. (We cut away the sides of the brownies so all of the cubes would be soft - no edges)
  • Sprinkle the brownie chunks and pecans over the top of the brownies in the bigger pan.
  • Drizzle more caramel over the top of the finished brownies. (Add as much as you want to your own liking)
