Ingredients
- 1 box Jiffy brownie mix
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray, ensuring complete coverage to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Jiffy brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in half of the chopped pecans into the brownie batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly to the corners and create a level surface.
- Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the top of the brownie batter in a zigzag pattern, creating a decorative swirl.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped pecans and chocolate chips across the surface of the batter.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the brownies from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top of the cooled brownies.
- Cut into 12 equal squares and serve. For best results, allow brownies to cool completely before cutting.
Tips
- For extra-rich brownies, replace water with strong coffee to enhance the chocolate flavor.
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smoother batter mixing.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough, dense brownies.
- Check brownies early - every oven is different, so start checking at 22 minutes.
- Let brownies cool completely for clean, precise cutting.
- For a gourmet touch, toast the pecans before adding them to intensify their nutty flavor.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
