Caramelized Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 package chewy brownie mix (recommended: Duncan Hines)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare the brownie mix according to the package directions. Pour batter into a greased 9 by 13-inch pan. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the pecans and sugar and cook, over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves. Drizzle the caramel mixture over brownie batter and bake until a toothpick can be inserted and withdrawn cleanly, 25 to 30 minutes.
