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 Drizzle the caramel mixture over brownie batter and bake until a toothpick can be inserted and withdrawn cleanly, 25 to 30 minutes.

*** The recipe instructions and video don't match ***
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The way Paula makes this on the video, and the way the recipe instructions are written, don't match. The video shows... the butter and brown sugar and nuts crumbled on top of the batter before baking, and she uses a store-bought caramel for the topping and heats it up to melt it. ( The store-bought caramel topping is not adressed in the written recipe ). The brown sugar and butter are NOT melted for the topping in the video. Watch the video to see how its done. Your results will be right, if you follow the video. :)Read more

Gritty?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Okay I must say I thought that this recipe would be easy but I was wrong. The "carmel" didn't really work it was really... gritty... I stirred it forever and it never melted and it smelled burnt. Anyone know what I did wrong?Read more

Dry and gritty--Help
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

What happened? I read all the reviews, I tried it twice, and the topping looked so good and caramel-like. when it cooled... though the brown sugar was gritty and dry. I creamed the butter and brown sugar, and dropped it by dollops on the uncooked brownie dough, then baked it. I even only used 3/4 cup brown sugar. Help! What did I do wrong?Read more

Disappointed
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I've recently become really interested in baking, using mostly recipes I see on Food Network or from the back of boxed... mixes...so when i saw that this recipe was fairly simple I jumped at the chance to make it today for a coworker's birthday. I'm now currently baking another batch of brownies just normally. Next time I will def. read the reviews before trying something. I had mixed the carmel together with the butter in the saucepan and it crystalized all over the pan and I'm still working to clean it all up. The brownies smell burnt and I found myself pulling the caramel topping away trying to just eat the brownie. If I do try again, I will do it the way I hear she did it on the show.Read more

Very good if made right!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These brownies are really yummy. I've made them several times. The trick is to make sure the sugar mixture is truly melted... before you pour it over the brownie batter. It seems to take quite a while to get the sugar to melt. But it's worth it!Read more
