1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
3/4 cup sweet ground chocolate and cocoa |
2 eggs |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract |
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted |
2/3 cup unsifted flour |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
1/3 cup light corn syrup |
3 tablespoons water |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 1/2 cups pecans, chopped |
Directions:
1. Brownies: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Using a spoon, stir eggs with 3/4-cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla; add butter. Sift ground chocolate with flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir into egg mixture; add nuts. Stir in chips. Spread into greased 8 or 9 square pan. Bake 20 to 30 minutes. For extra chewy brownies, use 8 pan and less baking time. For cake-like brownies, use 9 pan and longer baking time. Cut into squares.
2. Caramel Pecan Topping: Once brownie is baked and cooled, in a 3-quart saucepan, bring 3/4-cup sugar, corn syrup, water, and a pinch of salt to a boil until it turns a golden caramel. Remove pan from heat, and slowly add cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Quickly stir in pecans, and pour over brownie layer. Cool on rack. Chill brownies, covered, until caramel is firm (2 hours).
