"Baked" Brownies

Not like that!  My friend Sarah gave me the Baked cookbook for my birthday and I finally got around to making the highly rated brownies from it.  (It's rated "Best Brownie" by America's Test Kitchen and endorsed by Oprah.)

Caramel Pecan Brownies [07.22.2010]

 















Of course I had to put my own twist on it.  I followed the basic brownie recipe, but decided to drizzle it with a homemade salted caramel and pecans before baking. 

The brownies have a fudge-like texture, perfect for the choc-o-holic.  I like them a bit chewier, but I'm a little picky.  

Overall, it was a crowd-pleaser.
