Caramalicious Delicious Brownies
14 oz caramels
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
Place caramels and sweetened condensed milk in a heavy saucepan or microwave. Melt the caramels, stirring often until the caramels are completely melted and mixed with milk.
Melt:
½ cup butter
4 oz. Chocolate
Cool this mixture. If you don’t your brownies will be heavy and dry. Beat until light in color and foamy in texture
4 eggs
½ tsp salt
Add gradually and continue beating until well creamed:
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
With a few swift strokes, combine the cooled chocolate mixture into the eggs and sugar. Even if you normally use an electric mixer do this manually. Before the mixture becomes uniformly colored, fold in again by hand
1 cup flour
And before the flour is uniformly colored, stir in gently
1 cup chopped pecans
Place 2/3 of the batter in a greased 13”x9” pan; bake 12 minutes
Remove brownies from oven and pour melted caramels over top. Drop remaining 1/3 of the batter by teaspoonfuls evenly over brownies and, using dampened hands or a knife, smooth out top of batter. Using a knife, cut through brownie batter to marbleize.
Return pan to oven and bake for an additional 25-28 minutes.
