Caramel Pecan Brownies - Home Cooks World

Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). Grease a 9x9-inch/23x23 cm or 9x13-inch/23x33 cm baking pan and line with parchment paper.
Place the butter, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and fully melted. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and brown sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, until pale and slightly thickened.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the eggs and sugar and stir until combined. Fold in the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate everything evenly.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 3 to 4 minutes while preparing the topping.
(If baking without the pecan topping, continue baking the brownies for 35 minutes total.)
To make the topping, whisk together the honey, brown sugar, egg, melted butter, salt, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir in the chopped pecans.
Pour the pecan mixture over the partially baked brownies and spread it gently to cover the surface. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 minutes more, until the topping is golden and set.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan. Once fully cooled, slice and serve. The texture improves after a few hours or overnight.
