Dulce de Leche Caramel
Mom and I recently discovered that you can purchase Dulce de Leche caramel in the can. We’ve both salivated over the idea of making dulce de leche with sweetened condensed milk. It takes hours to make and this is so much easier.
I really tried to get the entire can of caramel on the top of these brownies. Just as I thought I had put as much as I could possibly fit into the baking dish, mom grabbed the can and I never saw it again! I think she’s been adding it to her coffee. Yum!

Chocolate Chips
We’ve made these brownies for years. I think my sister Brianna started making them when she was a teenager and still living at home.
Since Brianna started making them, we’ve adapted that recipe over and over and over and this is one of our latest versions. This is a double chocolate brownie because I’ve used both cocoa and chocolate chips.
You can use any chocolate chip you like. It’s going to be delicious no matter what. The Baileys® Original Irish Cream Baking Chips are my favorite chocolate chip right now and I decided to use them in this batch. So delicious! Read more about them at Clabber Girl.
Chopped Pecans
When we use any kind of chopped nuts in our baking, we don’t simply use the nuts as they come chopped from the bag.
I gave these pecans a little bit more of a loose chopping before I added them. I add just over half of the chopped pecans to the mix. As you can see, I added a generous amount to the top as well.
They stick really well in that gooey caramel. So delicious.
